Israel says military authorised to kill any high-ranking Iranian official in its sights

Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz said Wednesday that the military has been authorised to target any senior Iranian official without requiring further approval.

"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and I have authorised the Israeli army to eliminate any senior Iranian official for whom the intelligence and operational circle has been closed, without the need for additional approval," Katz said in a statement.

"We will continue to thwart and hunt them all down."
