Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the conflict with Iran should end in a way that either brings down the Iranian regime or leaves it too weak to continue pursuing nuclear ambitions. In an interview with Fox News, he presented that outcome as the central goal of the confrontation.
Netanyahu's remarks came as he warned of a strong Israeli response to Iranian attacks. His comments linked Israel's military posture not only to immediate retaliation, but also to the broader objective of preventing Iran from advancing its nuclear program.
The interview underscored Netanyahu's view that the long-term issue is the Iranian regime's capacity to threaten Israel while continuing nuclear development. By framing the war's end around regime collapse or major weakening, he signaled that, in his view, the conflict cannot be considered resolved if Tehran remains able to pursue the same strategy.
The comments add to mounting international focus on how any escalation between Israel and Iran could conclude. Netanyahu's position suggests that for Israel, the endgame is tied less to a temporary ceasefire and more to a lasting reduction in Iran's power and nuclear capabilities.
