New Delhi: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may launch a major attack on Iran before leaving office. There are two indications of this. According to Israeli media channel 12, Netanyahu recently asked Israel Defense Forces Chief Eyal Zamir to attack Tehran. Zamir has refused, saying that it is not right to go to war now.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday (November 11), Netanyahu stated in the Knesset that Israel would not be safe until there was a coup in Iran. He called for the overthrow of the Ayatollah’s government.
Netanyahu ready to attack Iran
In February of this year, Israel, along with the US, attacked Iran. A ceasefire was declared between the three sides in April. Even after this, Israel continued to attack Iran. For the past few months, there has been peace between the two sides. Netanyahu wanted to attack Iran even before the Israeli elections, but the US refused. Now, even after losing the election, Netanyahu is trying to attack Iran. According to Israel Channel 12, he has spoken to the army chief twice regarding this. The first time, on October 27th, was reported that Eyal Zamir had refused to attack Iran. Now, the same news has surfaced again.
Why is Netanyahu looking to attack?
Speaking in the Knesset on Tuesday, Netanyahu said that Iran’s nuclear program has been destroyed, but despite this, Iran is again engaged in the process of developing nuclear weapons. According to Netanyahu, Israel cannot remain safe as long as the Ayatollahs rule Iran. Netanyahu stated that an attack on Iran is necessary to keep Israel and the Jews safe. He said that Israel would be safe after the overthrow of the Ayatollah regime. However, experts say that Netanyahu wants to strengthen his position by attacking Iran.
