Netanyahu: Iran's Regime Can Fall, Crippling Its Proxies

The collapse of Iran's regime is a real possibility, though not a certainty, according to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In an interview with CBS published early Monday, he stated that such an outcome would deliver a devastating blow to Hezbollah, Hamas, and potentially the Houthi militia.

Netanyahu accused China of supplying Iran with technical components and support for its missile manufacturing, calling the situation "something I don't like." He emphasized that Iran continues to back regional proxies and is actively producing ballistic missiles.

Eyes on Iran and the War Effort

"We have eyes and ears watching everything, but I keep quiet when necessary," Netanyahu said, adding that the war with Iran continues and "there is work to be done." He noted that it took Tehran a long time to grasp the full risks of threatening navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, with the dangers of closing the strait becoming clearer as fighting persists.

"No one had a complete future vision during the escalation, including Iran."

The Israeli leader acknowledged that Tel Aviv is facing an "information blockade and an international propaganda campaign," conceding, "We have not been successful enough in the propaganda war."
