Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called on Iranian citizens to seize a historic moment for change and overthrow their government. His bold statement came just hours after Israel launched targeted strikes on Iran’s nuclear and military facilities.
Netanyahu declared, “This is your opportunity to stand up to the regime.” He emphasized that Israel’s actions aim to weaken Iran’s nuclear threats while empowering internal dissent. Iran now faces increasing isolation due to its support for terrorism and years of domestic unrest.
“We are in the midst of one of history’s greatest military operations,” Netanyahu said. “The Islamic regime has oppressed you for decades and threatens our existence.” His words mirrored the chants of Iranian protesters demanding freedom.
Meanwhile, Iran has begun arresting minority activists, including Ahwazis, raising fears of another uprising. Experts believe these groups could unite to challenge Tehran’s rule. Yigal Carmon of MEMRI said that minorities make up nearly half of Iran’s population.
Carmon stated, “Only the minorities can bring a historic moment for change.” He added, “A coalition of ethnic groups could topple the regime within months.” Years of protests, including the 2022 Mahsa Amini uprising, have shown deep discontent. Despite brutal crackdowns, Kurds, Baloch, and others continue resisting. Netanyahu echoed their rallying cry: “Woman, Life, Freedom.”
He stressed that Israel’s conflict is with the regime, not the Iranian people. As tensions rise, the world watches to see if this historic moment for change will spark a revolution or if Tehran’s repression will prevail. The stakes are high, and the outcome remains uncertain. One thing is clear: Iran stands at a crossroads, and its people may finally have their chance for freedom.
