Israel’s Prime Minister’s Office issued a direct message to the people of Iran, calling on them to rise against the ruling Ayatollah regime as the conflict between Iran and the U.S.–Israel coalition continues to escalate.
In the statement, Israeli officials described the ongoing military campaign as a “historic war for liberty,” claiming that joint U.S. and Israeli operations are targeting the Iranian leadership and military infrastructure responsible for decades of repression and regional aggression.
The statement said that thousands of IRGC operatives and hundreds of missile launchers have been destroyed, while emphasizing that strikes are focused primarily on regime targets rather than the Iranian population. Israel also claimed it is attempting to avoid harming civilians while conducting operations against Iranian military assets.
Addressing Iranian citizens directly, the message said the current situation represents a rare opportunity to remove the current regime and determine the country’s future. Israeli officials said they aim to create the conditions for the Iranian people to take control of their destiny.
According to the statement, the Iranian leadership is now under severe pressure, with officials claiming the Ayatollah leadership and its senior figures are “on the run.” Israel said additional actions in the coming days would further weaken the regime and potentially open the way for political change inside Iran.
The message concluded by saying that once conditions are set, the responsibility will shift to the Iranian people to seize the moment and shape their country’s future.
