Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday (June 16) suggested that the killing of Iran’s highest leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, would end the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran, rather than escalating it.

Netanyahu accused Iran of extending hostilities in the region and pushing the world to nuclear disaster. Netanyahu accuses Iran of “running” forever “” the “eternal war” that Iran wants, and they bring us to the point of nuclear war, “he said. “What Israel is doing is to prevent this, to end this aggression, and we can only do it by standing up against the powers of evil.” Israeli strikes are about the biggest blow to Iran’s Netanyahu nuclear program, said recent Israeli strikes have significantly delayed Iran’s nuclear program, bringing it back “a very, very long time”. While he insisted that the change of the regime in Tehran is not Israel’s purpose, Netanyahu noted that it would not be surprised if the current Iranian government falls as a result of the ongoing military action. “The regime is very weak,” he notes, adding that he stays in contact with US President Donald Trump daily.
