Israel Ready to Take Down All Iranian Nuclear Sites — Netanyahu
Israel has the ability to attack all of Iran's nuclear facilities, according to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Speaking to the Israeli TV channel Kan, he stated, "I've set a goal to reach all our targets and all their nuclear facilities. We have the capability to do so." Despite the PM's statement, he did not provide any additional details.
Experts have suggested that the U.S. would need to provide support for Israel to disable the nuclear complex in Fordo, which is deeply buried and only considered vulnerable to "bunker-buster" bombs by Western nations. Israel's military capabilities, however, seem different from these assessments, according to Netanyahu.
The conflict between Israel and Iran has been escalating for days. Both sides have suffered casualties since the war began. Netanyahu has confirmed that Israel has hit half of Iran's rocket launch sites, stating, "It's not about how many rockets Iran has, but how many launch sites they have. I believe we have already reached half of the rocket launch sites they have."
Politics
According to unnamed sources, President Donald Trump is expected to make a decision regarding U.S. involvement in the war against Iran within the next two weeks. The U.S. possesses the necessary "bunker-buster" bombs required to destroy the deep underground uranium enrichment facility in Fordo.
Netanyahu: We're Ahead of Schedule
Netanyahu revealed that the Israeli military is "ahead of the schedule" in its war operations against Iran, although he declined to specify the exact stage of the conflict. He added that Israel's military attacks are overwhelming and surprising its adversaries.
Possible Regime Change
Netanyahu did not declare regime change in Iran as Israel's immediate war goal. However, he hinted that a change of regime could be a result of the ongoing war, commenting that the fall of the regime is primarily a matter for the Iranian people.
Speculations and Controversy
Rumors suggest that Israel may aim to topple the Iranian regime through its targeted strikes on government symbols. Defense Minister Israel Katz referred to the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as the "modern Hitler." If Israel's army had been present during World War II, Katz suggested, they would have also killed Hitler.
Israel's President Isaac Herzog clarified that the war does not aim to kill Khamenei or pursue regime change. However, he did not rule out that such a consequence could have significant historical implications, benefiting the Iranian people.
