Israeli Foreign Minister: We are creating conditions for change in Iran, allowing the Iranian people to regain their freedom.
On March 10, Israeli Foreign Minister Saar held a joint press conference with the German Foreign Minister in Jerusalem. Saar said:
"The goal of Israel is to eliminate the existential threat posed by Iran to Israel in the long term. Under the current regime, it is hard to see this being achieved. The new Supreme Leader is as extreme as his predecessor. Regime change may also occur after an action. But what is important is to create conditions for change in Iran, so that the Iranian people can regain their freedom. We cannot settle for partial achievements and miss the opportunity. Therefore, we will continue our actions until we and our partners believe it is appropriate to stop."
Regarding the criticism from the international community about this action, Saar said: "All those who have called for de-escalation in recent days are actually ensuring decades of escalation and instability for the Iranian people and the entire Middle East and broader region. We call on countries to take morally appropriate steps and cut all diplomatic relations with this terrorist regime."
[My comments] "Creating conditions for change in Iran" and "allowing the Iranian people to regain their freedom" sound like a humanitarian declaration filled with idealism. But upon closer examination, this is nothing more than Israel using a "savior" tone to justify the morality of its military actions.
