Israeli Prime Minister says Israel is working to overthrow Iran's government

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Wednesday that Israel is actively working to overthrow the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The statement was made during a press briefing in Jerusalem, where the prime minister said the effort is part of a broader strategy to counter what Israel perceives as an existential threat from Tehran’s regional activities and its nuclear program.

Netanyahu’s remarks come amid heightened tensions between the two countries, which have long been adversaries in the Middle East. Israeli officials have previously cited Iran’s support for militant groups and its alleged pursuit of nuclear weapons as justification for covert operations. No details about specific plans or timelines were disclosed, and Iranian officials have not yet issued a formal response. The declaration adds a new dimension to the diplomatic landscape, potentially influencing regional security calculations and international discussions on Iran’s political future.
