Netanyahu says U.S. and Israel must topple Iranian regime
Netanyahu ordered security agencies to plan for the overthrow of Iran's government, citing a nuclear threat that has fueled regional wars killing over 74,000 people, officials said.
- On October 21, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the Israel Defense Forces and Mossad to pursue the overthrow of Iran's ruling regime, declaring regime change the only permanent solution to Tehran's nuclear threat.
- Netanyahu has portrayed Iran as a primary strategic threat since 1996; he recently framed the succession of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei as evidence of Tehran's continued determination to acquire nuclear weapons.
- Military planners developed targeting lists for a multiday bombing campaign scheduled for October 10, though President Donald Trump reportedly opposed launching a major offensive before the November 3 midterm elections.
- Former Prime Minister Yair Lapid condemned the threats as an 'electoral circus,' accusing Netanyahu of 'dangerously politicising' national security ahead of the October 27 general election.
- Military analysts caution that air strikes alone are unlikely to achieve regime change, noting the operation would require sustained US participation beyond current commitments to succeed.
