Netanyahu says campaign 'changing face of Middle East' as Israel, Iran trade strikes amid tension
As Israel and Iran continue to trade heavy strikes on the fourth day of the conflict, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted on Monday, June 16, that Israel's campaign against Tehran was "changing the face of the Middle East." " "We are changing the face of the Middle East, and that can lead to radical changes inside Iran itself," he said. Netanyahu's remarks came hours after a dramatic Israeli attack on an Iranian state TV building that forced a presenter to flee mid-broadcast under a shower of dust and debris. The attack prompted a threat of retaliation against Israeli news channels by Tehran. Fresh tensions erupted in the Middle East after Israel, on Friday, June 13, launched a surprise aerial campaign against targets across Iran, saying they aimed to prevent their arch-foe from acquiring atomic weapons. The sudden flare-up in hostilities has sparked fears of a wider conflict, with US President Donald Trump urging Iran back to the negotiating table after Israel's attacks derailed ongoing nuclear talks. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This New Outlander Left Us Speechless SearchPad | search ad Search Now Undo While Trump has maintained that Washington has "nothing to do" with its ally's campaign, Iran's foreign minister said Monday that the US President could stop the attacks with "one phone call." Israel's strikes have so far killed at least 224 people, including top military commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians, according to Iranian authorities. Netanyahu told a press conference Monday evening that Israel was eliminating Iran's security leadership "one after the other." "We are changing the face of the Middle East, and that can lead to radical changes inside Iran itself," he said. Live Events In retaliation to Israel's onslaught, Tehran has launched several waves of missiles in retaliation for Israel's attacks, with Iran's Revolutionary Guards warning of "more devastating operations" to come. In Tehran, the live feed of Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) was interrupted when an Israeli strike hit its building on Monday. The presenter was in the midst of lambasting Israel when an explosion rocked the facility, causing the monitors behind her to cut out and sending debris raining from the ceiling, live footage showed.

"Carry It To Freedom": Netanyahu Urges Iranians To Stand Against "Radical Tyranny"
Tel Aviv: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday issued a direct plea for the "good people of Iran" to stand against Tehran's "radical tyranny", saying that "a light has been lit, carry it to freedom". In a 13-minute interview with London-based channel "Iran International", the Israeli leader insisted that "you're not our enemy. We're not your enemy." "We have a common enemy, and we're resolutely fighting them, and I believe you'll have an opportunity to be free soon," he added. Israel has unleashed days of punishing strikes across Iran, which has responded with volleys of missiles. The prime minister said in a separate interview on Monday that Iranians now saw their government as "much weaker than they thought", and urged them put pressure on their leaders. "This is evil against good, and it's time for good people to stand up with the good -- the good people of Iran and good people everywhere -- against this madness foisted on all of us by this radical tyranny," he told Iran International. "I know that Iran can be great again. It was a great civilisation and this theological thuggery that has kidnapped your country will not stand for long," he added. "A light has been lit, carry it to freedom. It's up to the people of Iran." The longtime foes' most intense confrontation is fuelling fears of a drawn-out conflict that could engulf the Middle East. In a major campaign launched early Friday, Israeli fighter jets and drones have struck nuclear and military sites in Iran, also hitting residential areas and fuel depots. Iran's health ministry says at least 224 people have been killed and more than 1,200 wounded. Tehran has responded with barrages of missiles and drones that hit Israeli cities and towns, killing at least 24 people and wounding 592 others, according to the prime minister's office.

Trump Predicts Iran Will Sign Nuclear Deal As War Intensifies
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday Iran should have signed a deal with the United States on its nuclear program before Israeli strikes began and that he believes they now want to make an agreement. "As I've been saying, I think a deal will be signed, or something will happen, but a deal will be signed, and I think Iran is foolish not to sign," Trump told reporters on the sidelines of the G7 summit.
