Netanyahu: The collapse of the Iranian leadership is not a target of Israeli attacks, but it may be a result.

Gate News bot reported that, according to Reuters, Iranian Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Thursday that the change or downfall of the Iranian leadership is not the target of Israeli attacks, but it could be a result. "Regime change or downfall is primarily a matter for the Iranian people. This is irreplaceable."

"This is why I did not put it forward as a goal. It may be a result, but it is not a goal that we clearly or formally set," Netanyahu said in an interview with Israel's public broadcaster Kan. He stated that Israel has the capability to dismantle all of Iran's nuclear facilities, regardless of whether U.S. President Donald Trump decides to participate. Netanyahu stated before his speech at the White House that Trump will decide within the next two weeks whether to intervene. Military analysts believe that Israel may need the help of U.S. military bunker buster bombs to destroy the Fordow fuel enrichment plant, which is the "crown jewel" of Iran's nuclear program, buried under a mountain near the city of Qom. When asked whether the issue of the Fordow nuclear facility can be resolved regardless of American involvement, Netanyahu stated: "We have the capability to dismantle all targets and all their nuclear facilities, but whether the president is willing to engage, the final decision still rests in his own hands." "He will do things that are beneficial to the United States, and I will do things that are beneficial to the State of Israel. I must say, so far, everyone has been doing their part," Netanyahu said. On Wednesday, Trump stated that only the United States has the capability to destroy or dismantle the Fordow nuclear facility, "but that does not mean I will do it—absolutely not," Trump said.
