Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

"Brothers and sisters, citizens of Israel, just an hour ago, Israel and the United States launched an operation to eliminate the existential threat from the terrorist regime in Iran.

I thank our great friend, President Donald Trump, for his historic leadership.

For 47 years, the Ayatollah regime has been shouting "Death to Israel," "Death to America." He shed our blood, killed many Americans, and massacred his own people.

This deadly terrorist regime must not be allowed to arm itself with nuclear weapons that will allow it to threaten all of humanity.

Our joint actions will create the conditions for the brave Iranian people to take their fate into their own hands.

The time has come for all parts of the Iranian people — Persians, Kurds, Azeris, Balochis and Ahvazis — to get rid of the oppression of tyranny and lead Iran to freedom and peace.

I appeal to you, citizens of Israel, to obey the instructions of the rear command. In the coming days, we will all need self-control and fortitude in Operation Lion's Roar.

Together we will stand, together we will fight, and together we will ensure the eternity of Israel."
