Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the overthrow of the Islamic Republic of Iran is “within reach,” considering that it has become weaker than ever in light of the war that the United States and the Hebrew state began against it. During an event with military leaders, Netanyahu expressed, "I am convinced that we can remove this threat once and for all, that is, overthrow this regime. This is the central task that still awaits us, but it is close. It is not impossible. It is within reach." He added: "The regime is currently reeling. It is weaker than ever, and is fighting to survive."
