NETANYAHU SAYS IRANIAN REGIME’S FALL NOT CERTAIN DESPITE U.S., ISRAEL PRESSURE

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has acknowledged that he cannot be certain the Iranian public will overthrow their government, even as Israel and the United States intensify military action against Iran.Speaking amid ongoing joint operations against Iranian targets, Netanyahu said regime change in Tehran is not guaranteed and must ultimately come from within Iran itself, rather than being imposed externally by military force. The comments came during a period of heightened hostilities, including targeted strikes by Israeli forces against checkpoints and facilities associated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Israeli officials have said the campaign aims to weaken Iran’s military and strategic capabilities, while also creating conditions that could support internal opposition. Despite Israel’s efforts — backed by U.S. military pressure — analysts note that Iran’s political leadership remains intact, and there have been no clear signs of mass public uprising against the government. Iranian security forces continue to suppress dissent, and the regime maintains control over major cities and key institutions. Netanyahu’s remarks underscore the uncertainty surrounding the long‑term outcome of the conflict and the challenges of fostering internal change in a tightly controlled political system.
