Netanyahu Directs IDF, Mossad to Overthrow Iranian Regime

Netanyahu stated that Iran is once again attempting to develop nuclear weapons, which he referred to as "death bombs." He identified Mojtaba Khamenei, whom he called the current tyrant, as following his father's path and pulling the pin to pursue these weapons. According to Netanyahu, overthrowing the regime is the only way to remove this existential threat once and for all, noting that U.S. President Donald Trump agrees on the necessity of regime change.

Defense Minister Israel Katz also spoke at the ceremony, warning Iran and its proxies against attempting attacks to influence upcoming election results. Katz stated that the Iranian regime is at its weakest point ever and threatened that Iran would burn if it attacks Israel. He also warned Hezbollah that it would sustain the most severe blows if it joins any Iranian attack, and declared that Israel will not retreat from security zones in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza.
