Middle East3 sources3 countries🔦 Under-reported36m ago
On Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Israeli troops in southern Syria—specifically at Jabal al-Sheikh, or Mount Hermon—and stated that the Iranian government is very close to collapse. Netanyahu asserted that the main task remaining is to bring down Iran's Islamic republic, making these remarks as fighting intensifies during the ongoing six-month Middle East war.
The Israeli leader's statements coincide with a broader geopolitical stalemate between Tehran and Washington concerning the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The convergence of Netanyahu's regional military visits, the ongoing hostilities, and the wider diplomatic standoff highlights the heightened tensions surrounding the Iranian leadership.
