Netanyahu: We Can Strike Iran at Any Moment and Topple Its Regime

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday that all Israeli agencies are working towards "overthrowing the regime" in Iran.

Speaking in an interview with Hebrew channel "I24", Netanyahu stated that "all our agencies are operating under my direction to overthrow this regime and settle its fate," referring to the Iranian regime, adding that Israel is capable of attacking Iran "at any moment".

He added that Israeli pilots who previously carried out attacks inside Iran "can be there at any moment," amid the current escalation between the two sides.

When asked whether "settling the fate of the regime" meant overthrowing it, Netanyahu replied: "We will topple it—it’s already standing on shaky legs."

Netanyahu said Israel will continue confronting Iran as the "head of the octopus," aiming to "cut off its limbs" and strike the "axis of evil," adding: "We’ve done so with great force, our pilots were there, and they can be there at any moment."

Turning to his vision for the future of the Gaza Strip, Netanyahu said Israel maintains "absolute control" over more than 60% of the territory and will continue working to "disassemble it, disarm it, and evacuate areas where necessary," to prevent Gaza from posing a threat to Israel again.

Regarding the shape of the strip in five to ten years, Netanyahu said he envisions Gaza as a "region where no one living there thinks about attacking us," noting that Israel will retain absolute security control over it.
