Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the Iranian people directly, stating that Israel's ongoing military campaign is not only aimed at neutralizing Iran's nuclear and missile capabilities, but also at supporting the Iranian people's aspirations for freedom.
In his speech, Netanyahu evoked the past of the two peoples and emphasized that Iran is now weaker than ever, A2 writes.
"Tonight I want to speak to you, the proud people of Iran. We are in the midst of one of the largest military operations in history, Operation Lion Rising. The Islamic regime, which has oppressed you for nearly 50 years, threatens to destroy our country, the State of Israel. The objective of Israel's operation is to deter the Islamic regime's nuclear and ballistic threat to Israel, and as we achieve our objective, we are also paving the way for you to achieve your objective, which is freedom. In the last 24 hours, we have eliminated senior military commanders, senior nuclear scientists, the Islamic regime's most important enrichment facility, and a large part of its ballistic missile arsenal. More is on the way. The regime does not know what hit them, or what will hit them. The nation of Iran and the nation of Israel have been friends since the days of Cyrus the Great. The time has come for the Iranian people to to unite around its flag and its historical heritage, standing up for your freedom from an evil and oppressive regime. It has never been weaker. This is your chance to stand up and let your voices be heard, woman, life, freedom, Zan, Zendegi, Azadi. As I said yesterday and many times before, Israel's war is not with you, it is not with you, the brave people of Iran whom we respect and admire, our war is with a common enemy, a murderous regime that oppresses and impoverishes you. Brave people of Iran, your light will overcome the darkness, I am with you, the people of Israel are with you,” Netanyahu said. (A2 Televizion)
