Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the people of Israel:

“My brothers and sisters, citizens of Israel, not long ago, Israel and the United States began an operation to eliminate the existential threat posed by the terrorist regime in Iran.

"I thank our great friend, President Donald Trump, for his historic leadership.

"For 47 years, the Ayatollah regime has been shouting 'Death to Israel', 'Death to America'. It has shed our blood, murdered many Americans, and massacred its own people.

"Such a murderous terrorist regime must never obtain nuclear weapons, which would enable it to threaten all of humanity."

continued...

"Our joint operation will create the conditions for the brave Iranian people to take their destiny into their own hands.

"The time has come for all segments of the population in Iran - the Persians, Kurds, Azeris, Baluchis, and Ahwazis - to throw off the yoke of tyranny and create a free, peace-loving Iran.

"I call on you, citizens of Israel, to follow the instructions of the Home Front Command. In the coming days of Operation 'Lion's Roar', we will all need patience and inner strength.

"Together, we will stand firm, fight together, and together we will ensure the eternity of Israel."
