Iran's judiciary chief, Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei, has stated that Israel's objective in the current conflict is the complete destruction of Iran, not merely territorial gains. Speaking during a meeting with economists about Iran's economic challenges, Ejei accused the Israeli regime of aiming for Iran's annihilation. He characterized the ongoing confrontation as "existential" and asserted that Israel views Iran as a threat to all humanity.

Ejei, who is known for his role in past repressions and executions in Iran, emphasized that opponents of the Islamic Revolution have consistently sought to hinder the country's development. He also noted that even adversaries now acknowledge Iran as the world's fourth major power, following the United States, China, and Russia.

Addressing Iran's economic difficulties, including inflation, stagnation, currency devaluation, and market instability, Ejei attributed these issues in part to the war and what he described as externally imposed sanctions. He signaled a tougher stance from Iranian authorities towards Israel, suggesting a departure from restraint in their confrontation.

This statement follows previous reports that Iran is prepared to expand its list of targets for retaliatory strikes if conflict with Israel and the United States resumes. Such potential attacks could extend beyond military sites to include civilian infrastructure such as airports, oil pipelines, power plants, and undersea internet cables.
