Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday voiced confidence that Iran’s Islamic republic could soon fall, saying it was weaker than ever as the United States resumed attacks.
Netanyahu, after decades of describing Iran’s cleric-run state as an existential threat, in late February launched a joint attack on Iran with the United States, although President Donald Trump abruptly called a ceasefire in April. “This regime is currently teetering. It is weaker than ever. “I am convinced that we can remove this threat once and for all — that is, to overthrow this regime. That is the central task that still lies ahead of us, but it is close. It is not impossible. “If they’re not attacking us, it is not by chance.
It is fighting for its survival,” Netanyahu said at an event with Israeli military leaders. It is within reach,” he said. They attack everyone, but not us,” Netanyahu said.
Netanyahu’s remarks come ahead of October 27 general elections in which some polls show him trailing and as opposition leaders accuse him of failing on Iran.
