Former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant published an open letter Friday addressed to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, revealing his role in the planning of a joint Israeli-American strike on Iran and warning against continued nuclear ambitions.
#### Key Excerpts from the Letter:
Gallant wrote:
> “We’ve never met, but I’ve studied your decisions and strategy for nearly three decades. I transformed decades of intelligence into a coordinated military plan that dismantled your 'Ring of Fire' — culminating in a 12-day war that crippled Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure.”
He added:
> “We see everything. We hear everything. We are everywhere. We know your schedules, allies, weaknesses — often more than you know yourself.”
Gallant warned Khamenei that pursuing nuclear weapons is no longer a gamble but a dream built on failed systems:
> “You face a choice: continue your nuclear quest at a steep cost or abandon the illusion of regional dominance and focus on your people’s future. If you choose wrongly again — we will be there.”
#### Background:
Gallant, who previously served as Israel’s Minister of Defense, was instrumental in formulating the military operation executed in June 2025 against Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and regional proxies.
