When it came to brass tacks at the end of The Godfather‘s first act, Michael Corleone didn’t mince words: “We can’t wait. We can’t wait. I don’t care what Sollozzo says about a deal, he’s gonna kill Pop…that’s it. That’s the key for him. Gotta get Sollozzo.”
Similarly, Israel’s Bibi Netanyahu has said in no uncertain terms that Israel (and by extension the U.S,) has to “get” Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Netanyahu has stated that he believes Khamenei’s death could potentially “end the conflict” between Israel and Iran.
So that’s it — kill the Ayatollah. A bullet through the forehead inside Louis’s restaurant in the Bronx.
