A top Iranian official has warned that any attempt to assassinate Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would lead to catastrophic global consequences, including the possible outbreak of World War 3. This grave statement comes amid escalating tensions between Israel, the United States, and Iran following recent military confrontations in the region.
The Iranian leadership has expressed serious concerns over alleged Israeli plots targeting key figures in Tehran, including Khamenei. Responding to recent threats, the unnamed official stated that such an act would be viewed as a declaration of all-out war, not only against Iran but against the Islamic world.
The official emphasized that Iran’s response to any such move would be “unprecedented in scale” and warned global powers to reconsider their strategies. Iran has already elevated its military readiness, and recent missile launches aimed at U.S. and Israeli interests in the region demonstrate Tehran’s preparedness for large-scale retaliation.
Experts believe the rhetoric reflects the growing volatility in the Middle East, where proxy wars and direct confrontations are increasingly replacing diplomacy. As both Israel and Iran brace for further escalation, the possibility of wider regional or even global conflict cannot be ruled out.
