Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has once again reiterated his threat against the Iranian leadership ahead of the parliamentary elections to be held in the country on October 27. Speaking at a military graduation ceremony in southern Israel, Netanyahu said that the Tehran administration “has still not learned its lesson.”
Claiming that Iran is attempting to develop nuclear weapons, Netanyahu argued that the regime in Iran must be overthrown to permanently eliminate the threat. The Israeli Prime Minister stated, “There is only one way to eliminate this threat forever: to overthrow the regime in Iran. That is the instruction I have given to the Israeli army, Mossad, and all our security units.”
Speaking at the same ceremony, Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz also suggested that Iran and its proxy forces in the region might attempt attacks to influence the outcome of the elections in Israel.
Stating that they have detected these attempts and are ready to respond, Katz said, “If Iran attacks Israel, Iran will burn.”
It was reported a day earlier that Netanyahu had said he was determined to overthrow the government in Iran, which they had previously targeted with attacks alongside the US. It had been alleged that the Israeli Prime Minister was planning new attacks on Iran earlier this month, but that US President Donald Trump opposed the resumption of hostilities ahead of the November 3 midterm elections.
