Netanyahu: ‘More is on the way’
We have more on Netanyahu’s statement now.
During the address, he said that Israel’s fight is not with the Iranian people, but against Iran’s leadership.
He listed Iranian targets that have been hit by Israel, including military and nuclear sites, and adds: “More is on the way. The regime does not know what hit them, or what will hit them. It has never been weaker.
“This is your opportunity to stand up and let your voices be heard,” he tells the Iranian people.
He reiterates that Israel’s objective is to thwart what he describes as Iran’s nuclear and missile “threat”.
“As we achieve our objective, we are also clearing the path for you to achieve your freedom,” he says, adding: “The time has come for the Iranian people to unite around its flag and its historic legacy, by standing up for your freedom from the evil and oppressive regime.”
