International, Investigation, Middle East, North America

JERUSALEM (NPA) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Saturday the launch of a joint military operation with the United States, aimed at countering what he described as “an existential threat posed by the regime in Iran.”

In a televised statement on February 28, Netanyahu said: “For 47 years, the Ayatollahs’ regime has chanted ‘Death to Israel, Death to America.’ It has spilled our blood, murdered many Americans, and massacred its own people. This murderous terrorist regime must not be allowed to arm itself with nuclear weapons that would enable it to threaten all of humanity.”

Netanyahu added that the operation, named “Lion’s Roar,” was intended to “create the conditions for the brave Iranian people to take their fate into their own hands.” He urged unity among Iran’s diverse communities, including Persians, Kurds, Azeris, Baloch, and Ahwazis, to “cast off the yoke of tyranny and bring freedom and peace-loving values to Iran.”

The prime minister also called on Israeli citizens to follow Home Front Command instructions during the operation. “In the coming days, during Operation ‘Lion’s Roar,’ we will all be called upon to show patience and strength of spirit. Together we will stand, together we will fight, and together we will ensure the eternity of Israel,” he said.

No immediate response has yet been issued by Iranian officials.

Further updates are expected as the situation develops.
