According to an article in the Israel Times dated September 3, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated during a meeting of the Israeli General Staff in Tel Aviv that overthrowing the Iranian regime is Israel's current 'core goal'. He claimed that this goal is 'within reach', and the Israeli government is confident in its ability to 'eliminate the threat'.
In his speech, Netanyahu claimed that Israel has weakened Iran through a series of military actions. He said, "The Iranian regime is now on its verge of collapse, weaker than ever before. They are fighting for survival. I am confident that we can completely eliminate this threat—in other words, overthrow this regime. This is our current priority."
He also warned the “enemies of Israel”: “Do not provoke us. If you have learned any lesson from this, then do not provoke us. We have the ability, the determination, and internal unity to defeat you.”
On September 3 local time, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attended an event of the Israeli General Staff. The Israeli Government Information Office.
Before Netanyahu made these statements, Israel's Defense Minister Katz earlier on the 3rd said that if Iran attacked Israel, the Israeli military would target all of Iran's infrastructure, including its energy facilities.
Previously, Reuters reported that Iran had warned the United States that if Israel launched a full-scale attack against the Ali Tahr Mount Ridge in southern Lebanon, Iran would respond “vigorously”. The Ali Tahr Mount Ridge is controlled by Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the Israeli Defense Forces have listed it as one of their “primary combat targets” in public statements.
Lebanon, Israel, and the United States held negotiations in Washington, USA in June and announced the conclusion of a framework agreement. According to the agreement, the Israeli military will withdraw from some areas in southern Lebanon, with the Lebanese army taking over local security matters. However, since the agreement was reached, the Israeli military has continued to launch military attacks on targets within Lebanon.
