"Bringing down regime in Iran in the hands of Iranian people", says Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu says ending Iran's "tyranny" depends on its people, as IRGC defiantly rejects US war timeline.

"Our aspiration is to enable the Iranian people to cast off the yoke of tyranny - Benjamin Netanyahu"

Jerusalem, March 10

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday said that the future of Iran's current political leadership ultimately rests in the hands of the Iranian people, asserting that any change in the regime would depend on their willingness to challenge what he described as oppressive rule.

Speaking during a visit to the National Health Emergency Operations Centre, Netanyahu stated that Israel's broader aspiration is to see the Iranian population free itself from what he termed a system of tyranny.

"Our aspiration is to enable the Iranian people to cast off the yoke of tyranny; ultimately, it is up to them. But there is no doubt that through the actions taken so far, we are breaking their bones and we are still active," he said.

"If we succeed together with the Iranian people, we will bring about a permanent end to the extent that such things exist in the lives of nations. We will bring about change, and we are already bringing about a massive shift in Israel's international standing," he added. During his visit to the National Health Command Center with Health Minister Haim Katz, as part of Operation Roaring Lion, Netanyahu was briefed by Health Ministry Director-General Moshe Bar Siman Tov, on the healthcare system's activities during the campaign.

Earlier, Iran issued a defiant response to US President Donald Trump's claims regarding the conclusion of hostilities, asserting that it will be the sole authority to "determine" the end of military actions against American and Israeli targets.

In a strongly worded statement, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) rejected Washington's timeline for the conflict. The elite force maintained that the future of the region is now guided by Tehran's military strategy rather than US intervention.

"It is we who will determine the end of the war," the IRGC said in a statement.

"The equations and future status of the region are now in the hands of our armed forces; American forces will not end the war."

The IRGC spokesperson accused the US president of using "cunning and deceit" to manipulate public opinion following what Tehran described as "shameful defeats".

This is just more geopolitical posturing. The Middle East has suffered enough from external interference. As an Indian, I believe every nation's sovereignty must be respected. The solution must come from within, not through statements that escalate tensions. 🙏

The IRGC's statement is equally concerning. "We will determine the end of the war" – sounds like a recipe for prolonged conflict. India has always advocated for dialogue. Both sides need to step back. The common people are the ones who suffer the most.

Watching from India, the whole situation feels volatile. We have strong ties with both the region and the West. Stability is crucial for global trade and energy security. Hope cooler heads prevail and diplomacy gets a real chance.

"Breaking their bones" is a violent and unfortunate choice of words from a head of state. It undermines the message about freedom. The Iranian people are educated and capable; they don't need such aggressive rhetoric from outside. Focus on humanitarian aid, not regime change talk.

Complex issue. Many Iranians *are* unhappy with their government, but foreign intervention rarely leads to good outcomes (look at Iraq, Libya). India's stance of non-interference and promoting people-to-people ties seems the most sensible path forward. Jai Hind.
