From Yeshiva World News:
“People of Iran, we are waging a historic war for liberty,” Netanyahu’s office wrote on X. “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for you to remove the Ayatollah regime and gain your freedom.”
Netanyahu said Israel, operating alongside the United States, has dramatically intensified strikes against “the tyrants of Tehran.”
“Together with the United States, we are hitting the tyrants of Tehran harder than ever,” he said.
The Prime Minister said Israel has “taken out thousands of IRGC [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps] thugs and hundreds of their missile launchers,” dealing serious damage to the Iranian regime. He clarified, however, that Israel’s campaign is focused on “regime targets,” not civilians. “We are your ally,” he added, “your best ally.”
In the conclusion of his address, he called on the Iranian people to be ready, saying, “In the coming days we will create the conditions for you to grasp your destiny … Be ready to seize the moment.”
For decades now, Iran has severely oppressed its people, especially those who do not hold to the Islamic faith. However, as IFA Contributing Writer Joyce Swingle explained on a recent webcast, the Lord has heard the call of the oppressed. With regime officials attempting to flee, this is the best chance the Iranian people have ever had to secure freedom.
Let’s thank God for Netanyahu’s leadership in this critical hour, and let’s pray for the freedom and the protection of the Iranian people!
