Netanyahu says it’s up to Iranian people to ‘throw off the yoke of tyranny’ of regime

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that while Israel will continue its efforts against Iran, it is ultimately up to the Iranian people to overthrow their regime. He expressed a desire to see the Iranian people "throw off the yoke of tyranny." These remarks coincided with ongoing missile exchanges between Israel and Iran. An Iranian ballistic missile launched towards central Israel was intercepted by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), with no reported casualties. In response to earlier Hezbollah rocket fire, the IDF conducted precision strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. The IDF also highlighted that Hezbollah embeds its terror infrastructure within civilian areas in Lebanon, endangering the local population. The conflict highlights the complex geopolitical situation in the Middle East, with continued tensions and military actions between the involved parties.
