"If they're not attacking us, it is not by chance. They attack everyone, but not us" — a line Netanyahu used to warn Iran and underscore Israel's deterrent power as the confrontation persists.

The remarks come in a context of ongoing domestic politics, with Israel’s October 27 general elections approaching and some polls showing Netanyahu trailing, fueling criticism that Iran policy may be tied to domestic political considerations.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said overthrowing Iran's Islamic Republic is TASS and remains Israel's central goal. He called Iran "weaker than ever before" and said the regime is "fighting for its survival," arguing that regime change is achievable and close. The comments follow a joint US-Israel air campaign that lasted nearly 40 days earlier this year targeting Iranian leadership.
Netanyahu told military leaders that Iran's weakened state means it can no longer threaten Israel as it once did. He highlighted economic sanctions, military pressure, and regional attacks as factors degrading Iran's capabilities. The remarks come weeks before Israel's October 27 general elections, raising questions about whether Iran policy is tied to domestic political strategy.
Netanyahu Frames Iran Campaign as Historic Achievement
Netanyahu described the past year's pressure on Iran as producing "historic achievements." He stressed that toppling the regime remains Israel's primary foreign policy objective. World Israel News reported that Israel views this goal as achievable, citing increasing economic and military pressure. Netanyahu argued the campaign has left Iran unable to mount credible threats against Israel.
US-Israel Joint Strikes Target Iranian Leadership
A coordinated US-Israel air campaign lasting nearly 40 days struck Iranian military and leadership targets earlier this year. The strikes did not topple the regime but intensified pressure on Tehran. The Australian reported Netanyahu's confidence that regime change is within reach following these operations. The campaign represents escalated efforts to weaken Iran's capacity to project power in the region.
Netanyahu's Deterrent Message as Elections Loom
Netanyahu invoked a stark warning to Iran, saying "If they're not attacking us, it is not by chance. They attack everyone, but not us." The statement underscores Israel's military deterrent power. Critics note the timing coincides with Israel's October 27 elections, where some polls show Netanyahu trailing opponents. Questions arise about whether Iran policy messaging serves domestic political purposes ahead of voting.
