Netanyahu's office tells Iranians to 'remove the Ayatollah regime'

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office told Iranians on Tuesday to "remove the Ayatollah regime" amid Israel and the U.S.'s war with Iran.

"People of Iran, We are waging a historic war for liberty. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for you to remove the Ayatollah regime and gain your freedom. Together with the United States, we are hitting the Tyrants of Teheran harder than ever," Netanyahu's office posted on X.

"The Ayatollah is no more, and I know you don't want him replaced with another tyrant. So you must act. We are creating the conditions for you to do so. We have hit countless Regime targets. We have taken out thousands of IRGC thugs and hundreds of their missile launchers," the post continued.

"We are focused on regime targets and are doing our best not to harm the People of Iran. We are your ally. Your best ally. We fully respect your sovereignty, culture and heritage. You asked for help and help has arrived. We will continue to hit with growing force the tyrants who terrorized you for decades. The Ayatollahs and their henchmen are on the run – but those cowards have nowhere to hide. In the coming days we will create the conditions for you to grasp your destiny.

"Your dreams will become a reality. When the time is right, and that time is fast approaching, we will pass the torch to you. Be ready to seize the moment!" the post concluded.

Earlier this month, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed during U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran. On Sunday, Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the late supreme leader, was announced as his father's successor.

The post follows President Trump initially calling on Iranians to overthrow the regime, before later exploring the prospects of a Kurdish invasion from Iraq.

On Thursday, Trump said, "We want them to have a good leader. We have some people who I think would do a good job."
