Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran's newly appointed supreme leader, personally wrote a message on a rocket aimed at Israel - sending a clear symbolic signal of the conflict's continuation. The photograph of the message was broadcast through Iranian media.

Israel's response was sharp and direct. The Israeli military stated it would liquidate Iran's new supreme leader, and all those who participate in his selection. This threat was internationally assessed as extremely provocative and destabilising.

Khamenei's appointment followed a series of fierce attacks against Israel and Gulf states. Analysts assess that the provocative message on the rocket and Israel's liquidation threat further increase the risks of conflict escalation.

The international community is watching the military provocations from both sides with concern. Every new action - whether a symbolic message on a rocket or a threat to liquidate a leader - reduces the chances of a diplomatic exit and reinforces the logic of mutual escalation.
