JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that Israel has “many surprises” planned to destabilize the Iranian regime and enable change, as joint US-Israeli military operations enter their second week .
In a televised address on Sunday, Netanyahu declared that Operation Roaring Lion would continue with “uncompromising momentum” until the Iranian regime is pulled down .
“We have an organized plan with many surprises to destabilize the regime and enable change,” Netanyahu stated, adding that there are “many more targets” to come .
The prime minister revealed that the first week of operations saw the elimination of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, dozens of senior Revolutionary Guard officials, and hundreds of terrorist operatives . Government facilities, nuclear infrastructure, military headquarters, and hundreds of ballistic missile launchers have been destroyed .
Netanyahu also warned Hezbollah in Lebanon, urging the Lebanese government to enforce the ceasefire agreement and disarm the Iran-backed militant group . “Hezbollah’s aggression will bring catastrophic consequences upon Lebanon,” he cautioned .
Addressing Iranian Revolutionary Guard operatives directly, Netanyahu warned they are “in the crosshairs” but offered an olive branch to those who surrender . “Whoever lays down his weapon, no harm will come to him. He who does not will pay the price,” he said .
The prime minister framed the conflict as a mission to liberate rather than divide Iran, stressing that success would remove a global nuclear threat and bring peace between both nations .
Netanyahu also slammed the United Nations for condemning Israel’s actions while ignoring what he described as the “mass slaughter” of Iranian citizens by their own regime .
