Netanyahu says U.S. and Israel must topple Iranian regime

Netanyahu said regime change is the only lasting answer to Iran’s nuclear threat and ordered the IDF and Mossad to pursue it, officials said.

  • On Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the only way to eliminate the nuclear threat "forever" is to overthrow the Iranian regime, instructing the army, Mossad, and security agencies to pursue this objective.
  • Netanyahu has described preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons as a primary campaign purpose, alongside creating conditions for Iranians to remove their rulers, previously declaring, "The regime must fall, and I will bring it down."
  • Simultaneously, Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a fresh threat, warning that "Iran will burn" if the Islamic Republic attacks Israel, claiming the regime is at its weakest point and may resort to extreme measures.
  • Referring to Mojtaba Khamenei, Netanyahu said: "Mojtaba Khamenei has chosen to follow in his father's footsteps," as Israel has long made clear it would welcome the fall of a regime committed to its destruction.
  • At the same ceremony, Chief of the General Staff Eyal Zamir emphasized the necessity of military unity, as the Israel Defense Forces continues efforts to recruit members of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community.
