It is weaker than ever. It is fighting for its survival,&#8221; Netanyahu said at an event with Israeli military leaders. &#8220;I am convinced that we can remove this threat once and for all, that is, to overthrow this regime. That is the central task that still lies ahead of us, but it is close. It is not impossible. It is within reach.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Netanyahu&#8217;s remarks come ahead of the Oct. 27 general elections in which some polls show him trailing as opposition leaders accuse him of failing on Iran.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If they&#8217;re not attacking us, it is not by chance. They attack everyone, but not us,&#8221; Netanyahu said of Iran. &#8220;They know our power, the strength of our arms, and our determination.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>President Trump has, at times during the war the U.S. launched jointly with Israel on Feb. 28, called regime change a U.S. objective.

The U.S. military said it was looking into the allegations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I will say that the Iranian state media has not been a very good scribe about what&#8217;s happened in the conflict thus

that civilians are not targeted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Unfortunately, obviously, sometimes things happen, but in this particular case, I don&#8217;t think that we have any information one way or the
