Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday that his directive to the Israel Defense Forces, the Mossad and the defense establishment is to overthrow the regime in Iran.

At an officer cadet graduation ceremony, he said the Iranian regime “has still not learned its lesson” and accused new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei of following “in his father's footsteps” in developing “the bombs of death”, according to the Middle East Eye. Defense Minister Israel Katz threatened: “If Iran attacks Israel, Iran will burn!”
