Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video statement on Tuesday, directly addressing the Iranian people. He called on them to rise up against the regime and promised that Israeli water technology would be brought to Iran once the current government is overthrown. This comes after the Iranian president expressed concerns about water shortages.
“Greetings from Jerusalem to the proud people of Iran. Your leaders made the 12-day war compulsory for us, and they miserably lost,” the Israeli prime minister said, referencing the conflict in June. According to The Times of Israel, Israel launched the attack because it judged that Tehran’s nuclear and missile programs posed an immediate existential threat.
Netanyahu paraphrased Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian‘s recent comments: “We have problems with water, power, money, and inflation—what problem don’t we have? There will be no water in the dams by September or October.”
“He is right. Everything is collapsing. In this brutal summer heat, you don’t even have clean, cold water to give to your children,” Netanyahu added.
