Netanyahu is right. The Iranian jihad against Israel and America will not end as long as the Islamic Republic continues to exist. Those who point to Iraq and Afghanistan to warn against regime change have no idea of the history of the regime or the character of the three countries in question. The idea is not to get bogged down in a land war in Iran. No one is advocating that. But there are other ways for the regime to be weakened and ultimately destroyed.
“Iran in Israeli election: Netanyahu all-in on regime change, rivals want more,” by Negar Mojtahedi, Iran International, October 20, 2026:
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is making regime change in Iran an explicit goal ahead of Israel’s election, while political rivals advocate tough measures against Tehran and criticize his failure to eliminate the Iranian threat.
The debate puts competing promises of security before voters whom analysts describe as exhausted by years of conflict, raising questions about what would constitute victory and how far Israel would go to achieve it.
“We must complete the elimination of the Iranian regime — that is the primary objective,” Netanyahu said Tuesday at Tel Hai University in Kiryat Shmona, near the Lebanese border.
Netanyahu has long welcomed the prospect of the Islamic Republic’s collapse. Now, with Israelis voting on October 27, he is placing the removal of Iran’s leadership at the forefront of his message.
Netanyahu argued that weakening Iran militarily would not guarantee Israel’s security. As long as the Islamic Republic remains in power, he said, it will attempt to rebuild its nuclear capabilities and regional network.
“Finishing the job means bringing down the terrorist regime in Iran,” Netanyahu said, describing Tehran as the head of a “poisonous octopus” whose removal, he argued, would also bring down Hezbollah in Lebanon….

Following the Israeli elections tomorrow. I do hope that whoever emerges on top makes renewing the regime change military/intel operation a priority. They don’t need to recognize Pahlavi, but they should eliminate all the leaders of the islamic republic, so that the Pahlavi team can start planning a return and a transition
Chevelle says
I don’t think the millions of irgc are going to sit there and wait for Pahlavi to come and take their corruption and power away.
I was hoping and expecting the siege by Trump to have definitely worked. But I did research, it has damaged them, but nothing close to making a change. Food prices doubled and are staying there. They’re making it by somehow, they say Iran has enough food they can grow and get the rest from Putin.
War won’t work. It’s being said they have their missiles and drones safety stored. I read one missile city is 40 square miles, with over 80 bunkers if not more in one spot. So I don’t know what the plan is. I’m sure if it was a great plan they would have used it by now.
After the election, will be a peace deal. They’ll get hundreds of billions, and they’ll control the Hormuz. Maybe they stick to the deal while republican is in charge.
Beans🫘 says
That looks like it’s for public consumption. All signs point to making a deal after elections. Regime change, they I’m sure tried their best to take out Irans government.
We can claim victory. Irans proxies are beaten to hell. Iran will quietly get paid billions. Netanyahu will be gone, and the new Israel regime will pretend this never happened and move on.
The Iranians will sit by for a few years, they’re waiting for a Democrat, a socialist or even better, an Islamist president. On the premise of America first, we will ignore Iran making nukes, and begin taking over the Middle East with dozens of hardened groups like the Houthis. Countries will go like dominoes to an Islamist revolution in the region, that’s what Iran is, an Islamist revolutionary regime.
I believe Israel will survive under the Islamist socialist president when this all kicks off. Turkey will survive. The left here will secretly celebrate and stand down, they will say “America first”. “No wars”. “No money for Israel” “Iran is not a threat to us” .
Israel will crush a radical Islamist attack from all sides and succeed. It will be surrounded by Iranian proxies.
We can’t let the left in. It’s a green light for Iran and the Islamist terrorist to begin conquest and revolution. Gulf states are weak. I could even see our leftist Islamist leader block arms sales under the guise of war crimes. House of Saud will fall to multi pronged Islamist invasion.

Islam and its Muslims, not just Iran, are a continuous threat and a Criminal-Terrorist-Gang Enterprise against Israel, America, and all Non-Muslims with Muslim deceit, discrimination, segregation, violence, and terrorism as taught by Allah in Islamic Law and in Islam’s Qur’an(Qur’an 3:28, 54; 7:99; 9:5, 29, 41, 111; 49:15, etc.). Muslims, Terrorists of Allah, receive a great reward when they engage in war for Allah against Allah’s enemies, the Non-Muslims, whether Muslims live or die. Islam, a Criminal-Terrorist-Gang Enterprise, is against the US Constitution for Muslim funding, teaching, and promoting discrimination, hatred, rape, segregation, violence, totalitarianism, and terrorism(Qur’an 47:4 and more).
Public funding is a privilege that should not be granted to organizations that are against the US Constitution like Islam and its Muslim Organizations. Allah in Qur’an 9:111 says, “Surely Allah has purchased from the believers[Muslims] their souls and their money so that they may have the garden[Heavenly Paradise]. They engage in war for the sake of Allah, so they kill and are killed…”.

Netanyahu, he totally transformed Israel from a socialist poorer country into one of the most advanced and developed nations in the world. When he came in, there were constant terrorist attacks. Busses were blowing up, hordes of Palestinian terrorists would come across and attack and harass Israelis. During his rule, this has largely went away. Without a shadow of a doubt one of the greatest leaders of our time.
But the propaganda machine over there has people manipulated. They forget the safety they were given and all the Abraham accords that were negotiated for them to keep them safe. The play is, to put at the feet of Netanyahu October 7. Well, the odds say that eventually some terror attack was going to occur. They should count all the ones that did not occur and not hyper focus on one bad day, which by the way was not the fault of Netanyahu.
And now, all the terrorists are beaten to hell and on the ropes. It is possible Netanyahu loses, and a newer leader lets the terrorists off the ropes and even leaves Trump alone versus Iran. This will only invite more trouble in the future as they all rebuild.
I am hearing just yesterday, the Israeli armed forces see Netanyahu losing and they now are refusing to carry out orders.
Jon says
Israel and the US need to arm the Iranian citizenry. Once random people start shooting mullahs and IRGC officials in the back of the head on the street, regime panic and chaos can ensue.
The Mossad, at this point, must have thousands upon thousands of people it can smuggle weapons to.
And it’d be cheap, relatively speaking. One million pistols and ammo costs ~ $1 billion.
Bombing will not do it; assassinations will not do it. That is the best hope for an overthrow of the regime.
Rob Porter says
What a pity the U.S. and Israel cannot supply British and French citizens with arms with which to eliminate the treasonous Burnham and Macron, their treacherous governments and police officers who in Britain resemble the Bolshevik’s Cheka secret police who Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn described and who in the dead of night, in Russia, arrested (and murdered) thousands of innocent citizens.
Beans🫘 says
That’s Lready happened and happening. It is not working.
Rob Porter says
Netanuyahu’s political rivals conveniently forget that it was the U.S., not Israel, that stopped the attack on Iran. Israel attacked for ten days, the U.S. then attacked for TWO days, after which Donald Trump incomprehensibly stopped the attack – in favour of negotiations that turned out useless. The war should not have been stopped, it should have continued until Iran was pulverized and accepted unconditional surrender, but Trump decided otherwise.
Wellington says
I agree. Regime change should have been priority #1 from the outset of hostilities on February 28th and very publicly stated. Yes, denying the Iranian regime a nuclear capacity, ballistic missiles and the capacity to fund proxies were all important goals but it should have been understood right up front by all that the present Iranian regime had to go in its entirety and no deals would be made with it.
This was not done. This has been an error of great magnitude.
Walter Sieruk says
The Prime Minister of the State of Israel, Netanyahu. is, indeed, right , when he wisely , declared “Finish the job” That is when I comes down to the subject of eliminating the belligerent combative and hostile menacing Islamic regime of Iran once and for all.
Furthermore, it’s really best to” finish the job”, as in “Get it over with” ‘by eliminating that horrific aggressive regime, once and for all. As it had been, rightly and wisely. “Half-measures in war is madness and folly.”
The use of a very strong might of the power of Israeli and US airstrikes against those despots, and their vicious thugs in uniform, the IRGC is a very fitting way that those dangerous hostile and menacing fiendish villains Islamic regime need to and should be dealt with.
As the third President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson had, so rightly and wisely, declare, “With every barbarous people….force is law.’
Furthermore, when it comes to the subject of the United States with that war which she had against that of dangerous and menacing Islamic tyranny of Iran.. There should have been be no negotiations whatsoever with the representatives of that Islamic regime, because they and the despots who head that horrendous Islamic tyranny are lairs and will have no intention of keeping their promise on anything that they might sign. Such a printed “peace agreement wouldn’t be worth the paper that it’s printed on.
Those six words are true and right, which are “Khamenei is dead. “Finish the regime.”
For it’s best to finish the job, as in “Get it over with ‘by eliminating that horrific tyrannical regime, once and for all. As it had been, rightly and wisely. “Half-measures in war is madness and folly.”
In addition, President Trump had used the word “Lunatic” when referring to those in charge and power of that hostile Islamic tyranny of Iran. Lunatics are irrational, in their case they are irrational because of the blind unquestioning fanatical in a doctrine of Islam of a future coming of an Islamic messiah who has the title of the Mahdi.
That Mahdi they believe will come and conquer the entire world for Islam but only when in Iran and the Middle East and the whole word gets worst, not better. Therefore, by their own faulty Islamic worldview “reasoning” they would have no incentive to have honest negotiations about not going nuclear, as in not obtaining nuclear weapons. Neither would they want to stop arming with deadly weapons to murderous Muslim terrorist entities, as Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthi which are that Islamic regime’s stooge terror/ murder groups.
Lunatic cannot be reason with such dangerous characters will not respond to logic. So those deluded madmen and their regime need to and must and should be eliminated by force, once and for all.
For the sake and safety and security of America, the other Western countries, for the Iranian people, for Israel, and for all the civilized nations of the world.

Netanyahu is saying his opposition is about to ally with the Islamists within Israel. God knows what that means.
“ He described the opposition bloc as the “left” in alliance with Palestinians, and enemies of the country. “We see what is happening in Europe. The alliance between the left and Islam might destroy the state of Israel,” he said.
Everybody forgets, Muslims can play king maker in Israel if Israeli parties surrender to them and join the Islamists. They are really Islamist parties of Muslims. Their hope is to ally with Netanyahu opposition and pull Israel more in a way that benefits the international jihad.
According to Netanyahu at the latest , that is the back room deal coming. A Islamist/center left alliance against the right wing of Netanyahu and his far right coalition.
Question is, what did they promise the Islamist parties? They are over 10 percent. That means Netanyahu needs 60 percent to shake the Islamists off.
Walter Sieruk says
The United States and the State of Israel should definitely, as Netanyahu so right said Finish the Job” and continue using the power of a strong military might against those savage despots of that “mullah regime’ of Iran.
For it all comes down to the basic rule which is “Destroy or be destroyed.” For that belligerent and bellicose regime has as to of its main themes “Death to the USA., “:and “Death to Israel “
Therefore using American Air Force and Israeli air force strikes against that dangerous tyrannical Islam of Iran is an action of basic self-defense.
As the fifth President of the United States, James Monroe, rightly and wisely, in a speech had declared, “The right to self-defense never ceases. It is among the most sacred, and alike necessary to nations and to individuals.”

Pray that Israel will soon be freed from the self-centered ‘me first habitual liar’ and someone else with more integrity will finally become PM.

Wait–so you are *in favor* of Iran funding Hamas and Hezb’allah and the Houthis and murdering Israelis? Sick, sick stuff…
Chevelle says
You’re being sarcastic. But you aren’t far off. These establishment types, and they’re the majority and are effectively pro terrorist in Israel.
The generals hate Netanyahu. They want to pamper the Palestinians, and lead them to a state. And they want to sit by and let Iran get a nuke. That’s really what Netanyahu is up against inside Israel.
gravenimage says
I’m not being sarcastic–I’m just hoping that Jim James is.
And grimly true–even in Israel there are some who want to appease Muslims.
Sarprina81 says
I pray that the US and Israel are victorious against the Islamic Regime ruling Iran.
