War Could Decide Future Of Iran’s Islamic Republic, Says Netanyahu
Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said the war waged by Israel and the United States against Iran could determine the future of the Islamic Republic.
Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said the war waged by Israel and the United States against Iran could determine the future of the Islamic Republic.
In an interview with Fox News, Netanyahu said the conflict may continue for some time but is unlikely to last for years. He added that the war could be swift and decisive.
US President Donald Trump initially said the war might last four to five weeks but later suggested it could continue longer while defending a broader military campaign against Iran.
Netanyahu said the conflict could also create an opportunity for lasting peace in the Middle East, including between Israel and Saudi Arabia. Asked about prospects for regional peace, he said such a path was possible.
He added that the war could create conditions for the Iranian people to change their government. Netanyahu said the ultimate decision rests with the people of Iran, but that Israel and the United States are working to create the circumstances for such a change.
