Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened on Saturday to strike "every target of the ayatollah regime" in Iran, adding that Israeli strikes had dealt a "real blow" to Tehran's nuclear program.
"We will hit every site, every target of the ayatollah regime," Netanyahu said in a video statement on the second day of Israel's air campaign targeting Iranian military and nuclear sites.
"We have dealt a real blow to their nuclear program" since Friday, he added.
"We have opened a path to Tehran. Very soon, you will see Israeli aircraft, our air force, our pilots, in the skies over Tehran," Netanyahu said, shortly after Israel's military reported it had struck 40 targets in the Iranian capital overnight, including missiles and advanced air defense systems.
“Clear Support”
Netanyahu said Saturday that Israel's air strikes on Iran had the "clear support" of US President Donald Trump.
"Our enemy is your enemy... We're dealing with something that will threaten all of us sooner or later. Our victory will be your victory," Netanyahu said in a video statement addressed to Trump on the US leader's birthday.
"This is what Israel is doing with the support, the clear support, of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, and the American people and many others in the world."
