Jerusalem, 21 October, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday that Iran is once again attempting to develop what he called “weapons of death,” declaring that he had instructed efforts to overthrow the Iranian regime. His remarks underscore Israel’s continued concern over Tehran’s nuclear ambitions and its broader regional threat.
Netanyahu made the remarks amid renewed concerns about Iran’s efforts to rebuild its military capabilities following previous Israeli strikes. He has repeatedly vowed to prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons and to counter threats posed by Iran and its regional allies.
The prime minister’s statement also raises questions about Israel’s objectives toward Iran’s leadership and the measures he has authorized to achieve them.
