Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Sunday evening that any Iranian attack on Israel would result in a blow Tehran 'cannot imagine,' and reiterated that toppling the Islamic Republic's regime is Israel's mission, according to Israeli media reports. 'We are determined to complete the mission of toppling the regime; its end is near,' Netanyahu said.
Amit Segal (N12) first reported the prime minister's warning Sunday evening. A separate report from Ynet provided the full statement, in which Netanyahu said: 'If Iran makes a mistake and attacks us, it will absorb a blow it cannot imagine. We are determined to complete the mission of toppling the regime; its end is near.' The remarks add to a series of escalating threats from Netanyahu toward Tehran in recent months.
