Nov 12, 2024, 05:28 PM

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has issued a direct message to the Iranian people, asserting that the regime of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei fears them more than it fears Israel. In his second English-spoken statement, Netanyahu encouraged Iranians not to lose hope and to rise up against the regime. He highlighted that the recent missile attack on Israel by Iran cost the Iranian economy $2.3 billion, suggesting that further aggression would further cripple Iran's financial stability. This message comes several weeks after Netanyahu's first statement and the Israeli strikes against Iran.
