Benjamin Netanyahu says the collapse of Iran’s regime is no longer an impossible ambition for Israel. Speaking to military officials in Tel Aviv, the Israeli prime minister called the objective both achievable and close.
The Iranian regime is tottering, weaker than ever. It is fighting for its survival.
Netanyahu said the Iranian regime is “tottering, weaker than ever. It is fighting for its survival.” He added that Israel could eliminate what he called the threat “once and for all” by overthrowing the government in Tehran.
I am convinced that we can eliminate this threat once and for all, overthrow this regime. This is a key goal we have before us, but it is close. It is not impossible. It is achievable.
His remarks came after U.S. forces resumed attacks on Iran following a month of relative calm. Tehran responded with strikes targeting U.S. allies across the Middle East, including Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Iraq and the United Arab Emirates.
They are not launching attacks against us, this is not accidental. They know our strength, the power of our weapons and our determination.
Netanyahu said those countries had not launched attacks against Israel because they understood the country’s military strength, weapons and determination. He ended with a warning to Israel’s enemies: “Don’t mess with us!”
Don’t mess with us!
