Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appealed to Iranians. He called for an uprising. This is stated in Netanyahu's message, which was published by the American NBC television channel.
"The goal of Israel's operation is to eliminate the nuclear and missile threat. As we achieve our goal, we are also clearing the way for you to achieve freedom. It is time for you to unite under one banner and fight against an evil and tyrannical regime for your freedom," he said.
Netanyahu also stated that the peoples of Iran and Israel have been close friends since the time of the Persian king Cyrus the Great.
