Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu said more than half of the goals of the US-Israeli war against Iran have been achieved, avoiding specifying when the conflict will end.

In an interview with the U.S. television network Newsmax, he also argued that the Iranian regime may collapse from within, clarifying that regime change is not an official goal of operations.

“We are over halfway there”

Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking to the US right-wing Newsmax television network, noted that the military operations are at an advanced stage, but did not specify a timeframe for completion.

“We are clearly past the halfway point. But I don’t want to set a timetable,” the prime minister of Israel said in the interview, which was broadcast on the 31st day of the war against the Islamic Republic.

Assessment of weakening of the Iranian regime

The Israeli prime minister expressed the assessment that the regime in Iran may collapse from within, but reiterated that regime change was not included in the objectives of the war launched by the United States and Israel against the Islamic Republic on October 28.

“I think this regime will collapse from within. But for now, right now, what we are doing is that we are changing its military capabilities, its ballistic capabilities, its nuclear capabilities and also weakening it internally,” Netanyahu said.
