Netanyahu to IDF brass: Iran regime change is Israel’s ‘main task’
Netanyahu tells IDF generals Iran's regime is weaker than ever, declaring that toppling it is Israel's main remaining mission and is 'within arm's reach.'
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed confidence on Thursday that Iran's Islamic republic could soon collapse, describing it as weaker than ever and struggling for survival. At a gathering with Israeli military leaders, Netanyahu declared his conviction that the threat posed by the regime could be removed entirely, stating that the task of overthrowing the regime is imminent and within reach.
Iran's cleric-run state, which Netanyahu has long viewed as an existential threat, has faced renewed pressure from the United States, which initiated joint attacks with Israel in late February. Despite the resumption of economic sanctions and military strikes by the U.S., Iran has retaliated against allies of the United States in the Gulf, Jordan, and Iraq's autonomous Kurdistan region, but not Israel.
Netanyahu noted that Iran's decision not to target Israel is not coincidental, as Iran targets everyone, but Israel remains a priority.
