Iran Claims US and Israel Plotting to Kill Khamenei

Iran's intelligence minister accused the US and Israel of assassination attempts aimed at weakening Iran's unity and stability, citing threats that intensified during a June conflict.

  • On November 23, 2025, Iran's intelligence minister Esmail Khatib told ISNA that the United States and Israel seek to target Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei with assassination or hostile attacks.
  • After the 12-day war, officials say threats against Khamenei's life became explicit as Israel struck senior figures and the United States later joined strikes on nuclear sites.
  • Citing Israeli comments, reporters noted Israel Katz, Israel's defence minister, said Tel Aviv could target Tehran in June, while Khatib told ISNA, `Those who act in this direction, knowingly or unknowingly, are the infiltrating agents of the enemy`.
  • Iranian officials say Esmail Khatib warned adversaries shifted to cyberattacks and disinformation, while Masoud Pezeshkian cautioned an attack on Khamenei risks internal clashes and threatens national cohesion.
  • Despite a ceasefire since June 24, speculation persists that Israel considered killing Khamenei, while US President Donald Trump said they would not kill him 'for now'; Washington and Tel Aviv warn of renewed strikes if Tehran revives its nuclear programme.
