He said this during his first press briefing since the start of the conflict. Netanyahu's words are reported by Bloomberg, writes UNN.

We are creating optimal conditions for the overthrow of the regime
He noted that Israel continues to strike at Iranian forces' facilities, including Basij units in Tehran. At the same time, he acknowledged that the ultimate fall of power in Iran depends on internal processes.
I cannot say with certainty that the Iranian people will overthrow the regime. Regimes eventually fall from within
Escalation of the conflict
The Israeli Prime Minister also stated that the war became inevitable after Iran accelerated the development of its nuclear and missile programs and began to hide key facilities underground. According to him, without immediate action, these facilities could become unreachable for strikes.
Against the backdrop of the conflict, hostilities with the "Hezbollah" group also escalated. According to the Israeli side, militants fired more than 200 rockets and drones at Israeli cities, after which Israel struck dozens of targets in Beirut. Netanyahu stated that "Hezbollah" will pay a "heavy price" for its attacks.
