Israel Warns ‘Tehran Will Burn’ if Iranian Strikes Continue

The strikes come after Israel launched its own attacks on Iran

In a rare direct address to the people of Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday urged its citizens to “stand up and let your voices be heard,” after Israel unleashed deadly strikes on its regional foe.

"The time has come for the Iranian people to unite around its flag and its historic legacy, by standing up for your freedom from an evil and oppressive regime," Netanyahu said in a statement. For locals in Iran, the Israeli leader's call fell on deaf ears.
