Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on Wednesday for the overthrow of the Iranian regime, stating it is the only way to permanently eliminate its threat. Speaking at a ceremony for graduating officers at the "Bahad 1" training base in southern Israel, Netanyahu remarked that Iran's absolute ruler, Mojtaba Khamenei, is following in his father's footsteps and that Iran is attempting to develop deadly bombs again. He asserted that he has instructed the Israeli military, Mossad, and security agencies to work towards regime change in Iran.
During the same ceremony, Defense Minister Israel Katz revealed that Israel had recently detected Iranian attempts and those of its proxies to carry out attacks aimed at influencing the upcoming Israeli elections. Katz described the Iranian regime as being at its weakest point, warning that this vulnerability might push it towards extreme actions against Israel, and threatened that if Tehran attacks Israel, "Iran will burn." He also warned Hezbollah of severe strikes if it joins any Iranian attack, indicating that additional areas in southern Lebanon, including Nabatieh and the Litani River region, would be incorporated into Israel's "security zone."
In a related development, Netanyahu linked a potential victory for the Likud party in the elections to the completion of the mission to eliminate the Iranian nuclear threat, alongside US President Donald Trump. Conversely, Ebrahim Azizi, head of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee in the Iranian Parliament, stated that Tehran's stance would not change regardless of the Israeli election results and threatened retaliation for any "operational mistake." Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian affirmed that the lifting of threats and sanctions is a prerequisite for creating conditions for negotiation. Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio welcomed mediation efforts, including those by Qatar and Pakistan, but stressed that any agreement with Iran must ensure it never obtains nuclear weapons.
