Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, said in an interview with the Daily Mail that the Islamic Republic government “will fall,” and he told the Iranian people that “their day of freedom” will arrive.

Netanyahu said: “This government will fall. These things take time, but they will fall. Right now they are very weak. Trump’s blockade has really weakened the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps a great deal. So I’m saying, don’t lose your faith. Your day of freedom will come.”

He also, referring to his government’s record, said that Israel has managed to prevent the Islamic Republic from obtaining nuclear weapons.

Netanyahu added: “We could all have been burned by now, and they would be developing long-range missiles.”
