Why it matters
The rhetoric signals a significant escalation in geopolitical tensions between Israel and Iran, with potential implications for regional stability.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a fresh warning to Iran on Sunday, saying Tehran would face a devastating response if it attacks Israel as he vowed to complete the mission of toppling the Iranian regime.
"That regime in Iran, its end is near," Netanyahu said at a government Rosh Hashanah toast in Jerusalem, according to a translation from Hebrew. "It is weak. It is fighting for its life. It is faltering. There is another mission to complete, and we are determined to achieve it.
"This will permanently change the face of the Middle East and the history of our people. We know we are determined to do it, and we know we are capable of doing it."
