Benjamin Netanyahu For the sake of Iran’s “freedom,” Iran issued a stern warning to strike “thousands of targets belonging to the terrorist regime.”
“In the coming days, we will strike thousands of targets belonging to the terrorist regime. We will create the conditions for the brave people of Iran to throw off the yoke of tyranny,” he said.

Netanyahu further issued a message directly to the Iranian public saying:
“Therefore I say to you again: Citizens of Iran, don’t let this opportunity slip away. This is an opportunity that comes once in every generation. Don’t stand idly by because your time will come soon. A moment when you must take to the streets, a moment when you must take to the streets in the name of millions of people to accomplish the task of overthrowing the regime of terror that makes your lives miserable. Your pain and sacrifice will not be in vain. The help you longed for—that help has now arrived. Help has arrived, and now is the time to unite on our historic mission. Citizens of Iran, Persia, Kurds, Azerbaijan, Avaz and Baluchistan—— Now is the time to combine your forces to overthrow the regime and secure your future. “Israel launched Operation Roaring Lion, while the United States conducted Operation Epic Fury, a coordinated air campaign against multiple Iranian cities including Tehran, Isfahan, Qom, Karaj and Kermanshah. The attacks targeted Iranian military command centers, air defense systems, missile sites and critical regime infrastructure.
Aerial and drone footage released by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) showed attacks on buildings in central Tehran, which the military described as the headquarters of “Iran’s terror regime.” The attacks are part of a broader effort to establish air superiority and dismantle core elements of the Iranian regime.
The actions resulted in the deaths of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and four senior military and security officials. Israel positioned the attack as an effort to dismantle the Iranian regime and empower its citizens, while the United States emphasized neutralizing the imminent threat posed by Tehran’s nuclear, missile and proxy activities.
