Tel Aviv erupted with statements of gratitude and resolve as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed the joint US-Israel operation against Iran as a pivotal strike for global security. In a compelling video message on social media platform X, Netanyahu expressed profound thanks to US President Donald Trump for spearheading the mission dubbed ‘Lion’s Roar.’
The operation, described by Netanyahu as a direct response to existential threats posed by Iran’s terrorist regime, aims to dismantle nuclear ambitions that could endanger the world. ‘Israel and America have launched an operation to eliminate the existential danger from Iran’s terrorist regime, and for that, I thank President Trump from the bottom of my heart,’ Netanyahu declared.
He painted a vivid picture of hope for the Iranian people, asserting that the strikes create an opportunity for them to seize control of their destiny. Netanyahu urged Iranians to cast off the yoke of oppression and build a free, peaceful nation grounded in universal values. This marks his first public address post-strikes, where he openly called for regime change in Tehran.
Netanyahu warned that Iran’s current leadership must never acquire nuclear weapons, a development that would spell catastrophe worldwide. Turning to his citizens, he advised strict adherence to military directives amid warnings of risky days ahead during Operation Lion’s Roar. ‘In the coming days, we will all be called upon to show patience and courage,’ he said, rallying unity: ‘We will stand together, fight together, and secure Israel’s defense forever.’
Just prior, President Trump echoed these sentiments in his own video, confirming the attacks prioritize the Iranian people’s interests. He invited the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to surrender, promising full amnesty to those who comply, signaling a path to power for the populace once operations conclude.
This unprecedented alliance underscores a bold strategy to reshape Middle East dynamics, with eyes now on Tehran’s response and the broader implications for international stability.
