Details
My brothers and sisters, citizens of Israel, a few minutes ago, Israel and the United States launched an operation to eliminate an existential threat from the terrorist regime in Iran. I thank our great friend, President Donald Trump, for his historic leadership. For 47 years, the Ayatollah regime has called for "death to Israel," "death to America." It has shed our blood, killed many Americans, and committed mass murders of its own people. This brutal terrorist regime must not be allowed to arm itself with nuclear weapons, which would enable it to threaten all of humanity.
He stated that the US and Israel would create conditions for the brave Iranian people to take their destiny into their own hands.
The time has come for all parts of the Iranian people - Persians, Kurds, Azerbaijanis, Balochis, and Ahwazis - to throw off the yoke of tyranny and create a free and peaceful Iran. I appeal to you, citizens of Israel, to follow the instructions of the Civil Defense Command. In the coming days, during Operation "Lion's Roar," we will all need patience and fortitude. Together we will stand, together we will fight, and together we will ensure the eternity of Israel.
