Netanyahu made his remarks following the death of Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, who was backed by Iran, in airstrikes in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a rare direct address to the Iranian people on Monday amid rising Middle East tensions, telling them that Israel supports them in their struggle against Tehran’s proxies, such as the militant group Hezbollah, which is located in Lebanon.
PM Netanyahu stated, “Every day, you watch a tyranny that subjugates you and makes heated statements about defending Gaza, defending Lebanon,” in a message that was shared on YouTube and other platforms. Nevertheless, that government drags our area more and deeper into conflict every day.
Netanyahu went on to say that Israeli soldiers could reach any location in the Middle East and that Israel was eliminating “puppets of Iran” as part of its offensive. “There is nowhere we will not go to protect our people and safeguard our country,” he continued.Netanyahu made his remarks following the death of Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Iran-backed Hezbollah, in airstrikes in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon. One of the other casualties was a top officer of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Following the declaration by the Hezbollah organization that Israel had killed its commander Nasrallah, Iran’s Supreme commander Ali Khamenei was moved to a “safer location.”
In closing, Netanyahu encouraged the Iranian people not to “let a small handful of fanatical theocrats smash your goals and your dreams.” You are worthy of better. Better is what your kids deserve. I am aware that you do not stand behind the rapists and killers affiliated with Hezbollah and Hamas, but your leaders do. Iran’s citizens ought to be aware that Israel is on your side.
Since Israel began its airstrike against Hezbollah, which is based in Lebanon, over 1,000 people have lost their lives and over 6,000 have been injured. The UN estimates that a million or more people have crossed into Syria from Lebanon in an attempt to escape Israel’s assault.
