“With every passing moment, the regime is bringing you -- the noble Persian people -- closer to the abyss,” said Netanyahu.

“There is nowhere in the Middle East Israel cannot reach,” the prime minister added, warning the people of Iran that their “regime plunges our region deeper into darkness and deeper into war.”

“Don’t let a small group of theocrats crush your hopes and your dreams,” Netanyahu said.

An Israeli strike on Beirut Friday killed Hassan Nasrallah, the head of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah that has been armed and financed by the Islamic Republic for years.
