Background (AI generated)
Ali Khamenei has been Iran's Supreme Leader since 1989 and has survived multiple assassination attempts, notably in 1981 and 1985. Israel has a history of targeted assassinations against figures it considers threats, including the 2020 killing of Qasem Soleimani, commander of Iran's Quds Force. In June 2025, reports indicated that Israel had an opportunity to assassinate Khamenei but refrained due to U.S. opposition.
Considerations (AI generated)
Israel often does not publicly claim responsibility for assassinations, making official attribution challenging. Traders should consider the likelihood of Israel's public acknowledgment when making predictions.
