In the coming days, the aim is to create conditions that will enable the people of Iran to “take their fate into their own hands.”

“The Ayatollahs and their henchmen are on the run – but these cowards have nowhere to hide.”

Israel and the USA were waging “a historic war for freedom,” it said. “This is a unique opportunity for you to overthrow the Ayatollahs’ regime and gain your freedom.” The Iranian people asked for help, “and the help has arrived.”

Israel has repeatedly stated its goal of a change of power in Tehran and called on the population to overthrow the political leadership. At the end of February, Israel and the USA attacked Iran. Since then, Tehran has been attacking Israel and targets in the Gulf region with missiles.
