Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed on Thursday, September 3, that the collapse of the Iranian regime is "within reach," according to a video released by his office from a meeting with security officials. Netanyahu said the Iranian government is "fighting for its survival" and that Israel has the "capability to eliminate this threat once and for all," emphasizing that bringing down the regime is "our main remaining mission" and now "close, not impossible, within reach." Netanyahu had previously stated in late August that no diplomatic agreement was possible with Iranian leaders, whom he called "savage," and he welcomed the new economic pressure campaign launched by U.S. President Donald Trump. President Trump, in turn, announced yesterday that he was prepared to strike Iran "at any moment" after hostilities resumed between the U.S. and Iran on Sunday. Speaking to the press, Trump said, "Last night, we destroyed much more than their radar. Last night's attack was very violent, and we are ready to launch another at any moment." He was referring to U.S. strikes conducted on Tuesday night that targeted air defense sites, radar systems, or maritime facilities. These attacks were part of a broader escalation following a series of tensions between the two nations. On Tuesday, Trump had already warned that if Iran retaliated against the U.S. strikes, the country would face "much more harshly" targeted bombings. He described the U.S. military's Tuesday attacks as "powerful" and said they were "perfectly justified." In a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump reiterated that if Iran responded to the strikes, it would be "struck again, much more harshly." His comments came amid heightened military and political tensions between the U.S. and Iran, with both sides accusing each other of aggression and preparing for further conflict.
