Israel will “strike every target” of Iran’s regime, Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video address on Saturday, as tensions between the long-standing foes continue to flare.
Netanyahu said that in the “very near future, you will see Israeli planes, the Israeli Air Force, our brave pilots, above the skies of Tehran.”
“We will strike every site and every target of the Ayatollah’s regime,” he warned.
The Israeli leader said his country’s goal was to eliminate Iran’s “dual threat” to Israel, referring to both Tehran’s nuclear capabilities and ballistic missile arsenal.
He added that Israel had already “caused a very severe blow” to Iran’s main nuclear facility. “We hit the uranium enrichment facility which is vital for the production of bombs. We also hit the leading team of scientists who lead these projects. And this will definitely set them back, and it’s possible that it will set them back for many years,” he said.
It comes after Netanyahu late on Friday gave a direct address to the people of Iran, urging them to “stand up and let your voices be heard,” as he cautioned that more attacks were on the way.
