“My brothers and sisters, citizens of Israel, a short while ago Israel and the United States launched an operation to remove the existential threat posed by the terror regime in Iran.

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

For 47 years, the ayatollahs’ regime has called ‘Death to Israel,’ ‘Death to America.’ It has shed our blood, murdered many Americans, and massacred its own people.

We must not allow this murderous terror regime to arm itself with nuclear weapons that would enable it to threaten all of humanity.

Our joint action will create the conditions for the brave people of Iran to take their destiny into their own hands.

The time has come for all parts of the Iranian nation — Persians, Kurds, Azeris, Baluchis, and Ahvazis — to cast off the yoke of tyranny and bring about a free and peace‑seeking Iran.

I call upon you, citizens of Israel, to heed the instructions of the Home Front Command. In the coming days, during Operation ‘Lion’s Roar,’ we will all need patience and fortitude.

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