Netanyahu Says Iran's Regime Must Fall or Be Significantly Weakened

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that the war with Iran will end when Tehran's regime falls or is weakened enough to end its nuclear program. In an interview, he said the regime must also stop firing at its Gulf neighbors and that U.S. President Donald Trump's effort to secure those outcomes through an agreement was positive. Netanyahu pledged that Iran would not obtain a nuclear weapon regardless of the diplomatic track. He warned that any direct or indirect Iranian attack on Israel would be a grave mistake and would draw a very powerful Israeli response.
