Israeli foreign minister Gideon Sa'ar told Euronews in an interview that the military strikes conducted alongside the United States are designed to 'create the conditions to weaken the regime enough to allow the Iranians to take their future into their own hands' as operation continues.
Axar.az reports that Israel's top diplomat Gideon Sa'ar told Euronews no "timeline" has been set for the military operation alongside the United States against Iran which began Saturday.
He said neither Israel nor the US "seek to impose (a new leadership) from the outside" but suggested the strikes which resulted in the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei could create the conditions for the people of Iran to raise against the regime.
"The future leadership of Iran should be determined by the Iranian people through free elections. Our only requirement is that whoever comes to power in Iran must not pursue the destruction of Israel," he told Euronews.
He also set there is no time horizon set for the duration of the military operation.
"Naturally, we want the operation to be as short as possible, but no exact end date has been determined," he added.
The Israel Defense Forces said Sunday that it would mobilize 100,000 reservists as the strikes on Tehran continue.
