Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a warning to Iran on Monday, saying regime change will happen in the country “a lot sooner than people think.”
Netanyahu made the threat in a video he posted on X that he said was a message to the Iranian people.
“When Iran is finally free, and that moment will come a lot sooner than people think — everything will be different,” he said in English. “Our two ancient peoples, the Jewish people and the Persian people, will finally be at peace. Our two countries, Israel and Iran, will be at peace.”
Netanyahu said that Iran’s “puppets” were being eliminated and warned that there’s “nowhere in the Middle East” that Israel cannot reach. “With every passing moment, the regime is bringing you — the noble Persian people — closer to the abyss,” he said.
The warning from Netanyahu comes amid soaring tensions in the Middle East following Israel’s dramatic escalation in Lebanon, which has killed over 1,000 people since September 23, including Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and many Lebanese civilians.
A senior member of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was killed alongside Nasrallah, and Tehran has vowed that it would respond. Netanyahu seems eager to expand the conflict in the Middle East, and the US is deploying more troops and other military assets for the purpose of defending Israel if the situation escalates.
He resembles a crazed cartoon character.
That's because he is.
Some say that Bibi is the bastard son of Jerry Lewis.
Makes sense his parents would be 2nd or 3rd cousins or whatever they were when his mom was way-underage. Oh, the '50s…
He sounds a lot like Trump to me. I'm sure he's convincing to the Iranians. /s
His nation is being attacked by Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis and Iran. You think he's "crazed" for fighting back? Really? If missiles were raining down on your town, would you do nothing? Please elaborate.
And by 'regime change' he means installing a US/Israel sock puppet government, whether the Iranian street wants it or not. We did that in 53 and it didn't take long for that to backfire on us in spectacular fashion.
I would rather have a peaceful regime than an anti-American, pro-Russian regime. You may feel otherwise.
Bizzaro world. The man conducting an ongoing genocide in Gaza and killing with impunity in Lebanon while the settlers rampage with IDF approval through the West Bank has the gall to single out a country that hasn't attacked anyone, other than Iraq in self defense, in over 200 years.
Wars, I mean like… Give him credit. He took precious time from his hard work in genociding the Palestinians and Lebanese to tell the Iranians that they were next.
Why would the Iranians object to such a message? He clearly has their wellbeing in mind. Sure. It will hurt them a lot and they might become extinct. But isn't that better than their already miserable pointless lives spent in resisting Israel?
I can't understand Iran's lack of response, at this point. Does anyone have a persuasive answer to this?
You dont want peace, you lying scumbag.
"…saying regime change will happen in the country “a lot sooner than people think.”"
Oh s**t. This must mean Netanyahu has some Ukrainian SCUBA divers and a rented Polish yacht ready to sneak into Tehran, immediately and magically find their political leaders, plant explosives on them, then detonate a month or two later…Then blame the Persians for sabotaging i mean assassinating their own pipeline i mean President.
