Netanyahu Vows to Overthrow Iran's Regime, Warns Tehran Against Attack
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared on Tuesday that overthrowing the Iranian regime is a mission Israel is determined to complete, stating that "its end is near." Speaking at a Rosh Hashanah toast with the cabinet, Netanyahu issued a stern warning to Tehran, asserting that Iran refrains from attacking Israel because it "knows why."
"We are determined to defend ourselves, we are determined to strike our enemies," Netanyahu stated. "Iran refrains from attacking us, and it knows why. Of course, it can err and make the mistake and attack us. It will receive a blow it cannot even imagine."
Netanyahu also sent a direct message to Israel's enemies, urging them not to "mess with us." He emphasized the nation's ability to unite during critical moments, calling Israel "the strongest power in the Middle East, and some say beyond."
Reflecting on achievements against Iran, the Prime Minister credited Israel and the United States for working to "remove the existential threat," stating they have "removed atomic bombs and ballistic missiles from us and struck the Iranian axis with great force."
He also praised the security forces, including the IDF soldiers and intelligence agencies, for their ongoing efforts. "We are eliminating terrorists all the time, in Lebanon, in Gaza, in Judea and Samaria," Netanyahu said, clarifying that the campaign is not yet over from his perspective.
