Netanyahu Says He Ordered Mossad and Military to Work to Topple Iran’s Government

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had instructed the Mossad intelligence agency and the Israeli military to work toward bringing down Iran’s ruling system.

His remarks described an objective aimed at the survival of the Iranian government, rather than solely at its military capabilities.

Netanyahu also warned that Tehran could resort to a fresh escalation, presenting further confrontation as a possibility rather than a certainty.

The statement offered no details on how the intelligence agency and military would carry out the instructions or on what form a new Iranian escalation might take.
