Netanyahu Calls Toppling Iran's Regime Israel's 'Central Mission'

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told military leadership during Rosh Hashanah remarks that eliminating Iran's current regime is Israel's 'central mission' and said the objective is 'within reach.'

Why this matters. Netanyahu framing regime change as an achievable, active objective signals Israel does not view the current military posture as a stalemate, raising the odds of continued or expanded strikes rather than a near-term de-escalation.
