Yair Golan, chairman of the Democrats party, stated on Friday that he believes the assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was a mistake. Golan argued in an interview with Yossi Yehoshua in Rishon Lezion that the killing, which occurred at the start of Operation "Lion's Roar," did not serve Israel's interests. He explained that a senior, elderly leader like Khamenei, who was 86, presents a certain advantage. Golan also suggested that Khamenei's son, if he is functioning at all, appears to be controlled by Iran's ultra-extremist strategic security echelon. He contended that after eliminating key figures, Israel is left with more violent extremists. Golan concluded that Israel's strategic position against Iran worsened after Operation "Lion's Roar" because Prime Minister Netanyahu set an unrealistic war aim of overthrowing the Iranian regime, which failed.
