Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a public message to the Iranian people in an English-language video, in which he said: "Imagine how your life could be different if Iran were free. You could speak your mind without fear." He added: "That is what Khamenei's regime denies you every single day. They obsess about destroying Israel." Netanyahu also added that "there is one thing that Khameini's regime fears more than Israel; It's you, the people of Iran. That's why they spend so much time and money trying to crush your hopes and curb your dreams. Well, I say to you this: Don't let your dreams die. ... Don't lose hope, and know that Israel and others in the free world with you."
