After Israel takes out Ismail Haniyeh and Hassan Nasrallah, will it go after Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei; he has been moved to a secret location

Questions are arising as to who will the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) target after it killed two of the most powerful leaders in the Middle East within a span of 58 days. An Israeli airstrike in Southern Beirut killed Hassan Nasrallah on Friday whereas Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed in Tehran on July 31. Social media was rife that the IDF would next target Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Sensing his life is in danger, Iran on Saturday shifted Khamenei to an undisclosed secure location inside the country with heightened security measures in place. Israel said that it can reach anywhere in the world in its fight against terror groups and nations supporting them.

Who is Ayatollah Khamenei?

Ayatollah Khamenei, now 85 years old and Iran's Supreme Leader since 1989, has long provided full support to militant groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas. On Saturday afternoon, following an Israeli strike on Lebanon, Khamenei's X account released a statement declaring, “All the Resistance forces in the region stand with Hezbollah. The Resistance forces will shape this region’s future, led by the honorable Hezbollah.”

Amid Israel's ongoing "New Order" operation aimed at neutralizing terrorist leaders, reports emerged that Khamenei had been relocated to a secure facility. The Israeli military, led by Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi, emphasized that they are far from exhausting their capabilities, asserting, "Anyone who threatens Israel’s citizens, whether in the north, south, or beyond, will face consequences."

Hassan Nasrallah, involved with Hezbollah since its founding in 1982 following Israel's invasion of Lebanon, assumed leadership of the group in 1992, transforming it into a potent political and military force. Lieutenant General Halevi described Nasrallah as the key architect behind countless attacks, both in Israel and globally, adding that for 32 years, Nasrallah has overseen the planning and execution of terrorist operations and is directly responsible for the deaths of Israeli civilians and soldiers.
