Avner Vilan: Netanyahu responsible for 'absurd risk' in his Iran strategy to assassinate Khamenei
Iran nuclear expert Avner Vilan praised the Mossad's ability to locate Ahmadinejad, but blamed the circumstances on Netanyahu's desire to go to war with Khamenei's assassination as the goal
Assessment
An Israeli nuclear expert is publicly blaming Prime Minister Netanyahu for escalating Iran tensions to the point of targeting Supreme Leader Khamenei for assassination. This internal criticism suggests serious disagreement within Israeli security circles about the wisdom and risks of the current strategy. The claim that Mossad could locate Ahmadinejad but that Netanyahu is pushing toward war frames the prime minister as the driver of dangerous escalation.
