A man looks at a billboard featuring the portraits of (Left to Right) Hassan Nasrallah, the slain former leader of Hezbollah, Iran's late president Ebrahim Raisi, Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and Iran's slain commander Qasem Soleimani, in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on June 17, 2025. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in an interview with ABC News, states that killing Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would end the conflict between the two countries. He also defends Israel's ongoing military actions against Iran, adding they aim to end the conflict rather than escalate it. His remarks come after reports that US President Donald Trump previously vetoed an Israeli plan to target Iran's Supreme Leader, fearing it could worsen the conflict. Israel continues its strikes across Iran since June 13, targeting nuclear and energy facilities, and a state television building in Tehran. In response, Iran launches waves of retaliatory missiles and drones toward Israel. (Photo by Firdous Nazir/NurPhoto via Getty Images)
