“This murderous terrorist regime must not arm itself with nuclear weapons that would allow it to threaten all of humanity,” he said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday said the joint military operation with the United States was launched to remove “the existential threat posed by the terrorist regime in Iran,” while thanking our “great friend, President Donald Trump, for his historic leadership.”In addition to explaining the geopolitical considerations that led to the operation, which he titled Operation Roaring Lion, Netanyahu, who spoke in Hebrew, highlighted its symbolic dimensions. He noted that it’s happening in the lead-up toPurim, a Jewish holiday whose story is set in Persia and in which Jews thwart a scheme to annihilate them.
Netanyahu stressed that for decades, the ayatollah “has spilled our blood, murdered many Americans, and massacred its own people. This murderous terrorist regime must not arm itself with nuclear weapons that would allow it to threaten all of humanity. “Our joint action will create the conditions for the courageous Iranian people to take their destiny into their own hands. The time has come for all segments of the Iranian people—the Persians, the Kurds, the Azeris, the Baluchis and the Ahwazis—to throw off the yoke of tyranny and bring about a free and peace-loving Iran,” continued Netanyahu.
The prime minister emphasized that in the coming days the Israeli home front will be required to demonstrate “endurance and fortitude.” “Together we will stand, together we will fight, and together we will ensure the eternity of Israel,” he said. (Read More)
