Netanyahu Says Iran's Leadership Nears Collapse Amid Regional Conflict and Rising Oil Prices
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated during a visit to troops on the Israel-Syria border that Iran's leadership is "very close" to collapse, describing the main goal as dismantling what he called Iran's "terror regime." He emphasized ongoing work is needed and predicted the regional alliance supporting Iran would eventually fall. Concurrently, Iran's Revolutionary Guard outlined conditions for ending the conflict with the US, including halting military actions and lifting sanctions. The escalating tensions have also pushed global oil prices above $100 a barrel.
