Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an interview with Fox News that "the regime in Iran needs to fall, or the people there need to understand that they cannot continue shooting at their neighbors in the Gulf like this, and that's even before they have nuclear weapons. They need to fall or be significantly weakened, that's what U.S. President Donald Trump is trying to achieve in a deal and that's good, but either way they will not have nuclear weapons." He added: "If Iran attacks Israel indirectly or directly, it will be mistaken because Israel's response will be very powerful."
