Netanyahu says toppling Iran’s Islamic republic ‘within reach’
The Israeli prime minister says the Iranian regime is 'weaker than ever' and 'fighting for its survival'.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu voiced confidence that Iran's Islamic republic could soon fall, stating it is weaker than ever and fighting for its survival. Speaking at an event with Israeli military leaders, Netanyahu said he is convinced that removing this threat is not impossible and is within reach.
Netanyahu, who has spent decades describing Iran as an existential threat, launched a joint attack on Iran with the United States in late February. However, the US called a ceasefire in April. Since then, the US has imposed more economic pressure and resumed strikes, leading Iran to retaliate against US allies in the Gulf, Jordan, and Iraq's autonomous Kurdistan region. Yet, Israel has been spared from direct attacks.
Netanyahu emphasized that Iran knows the strength of their weapons and his determination. His remarks come ahead of the October 27 general elections, where some polls show him trailing, and opposition leaders accuse him of failing to address the Iran issue.
