Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday at Khamenei's funeral that 80% of the Iranian people despise the regime, but a militant minority shouting 'Death to Trump' remains capable of taking to the streets. He warned that Iran is no friend of the U.S. and must never be allowed nuclear weapons or the means to obtain them.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking Monday at the funeral of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, offered a stark assessment of the Iranian regime's domestic standing. '80% of the Iranian people hate the regime,' Netanyahu said, 'but a minority has emerged that can take to the streets. They shouted ‘Death to Trump.’' He added that Iran is no friend of the United States and must never be allowed nuclear weapons or the means to obtain them. The remarks, delivered at a rare event attended by international figures including the Israeli premier, reflect ongoing Israeli concern over Iran's nuclear ambitions and its internal stability following the Supreme Leader's death. The political context, as The Zioneer has reported over recent weeks, includes a turbulent leadership transition and public skepticism of the regime. The premier's funeral appearance underscores Jerusalem's focus on Iran's strategic threat regardless of internal developments.
