Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that Iran's government is "very close" to being toppled, according to Middle East Eye. Netanyahu made the comments during a visit to Israeli-occupied Jabal al-Sheikh, also known as Mount Hermon, a strategic hilltop in the Syrian Golan Heights that Israel has held since 1967.
The Israeli leader provided no evidence, timeline, or specific reasoning to support his assertion about the Iranian government's imminent fall. Netanyahu has made similar predictions about Iran's political stability in the past, though none have materialized as stated. His remarks come amid ongoing regional tensions between Israel and Iran-aligned groups across the Middle East.
