After the Mossad successfully eliminated the leader of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, Netanyahu addressed the Iranian people and told them that "With every passing moment, the regime is bringing you – the noble Persian people – closer to the abyss ... The vast majority of Iranians know their regime doesn’t care a whit about them. From Qom to Esfahan, from Shiraz to Tabriz, there are tens of millions of good and decent people with thousands of years of history behind them and a bright future ahead of them."
Netanyahu also said, “When Iran is finally free – and that moment will come a lot sooner than people think – everything will be different. [Iran will] thrive as never before [and] when that day comes, the terror network that the regime built in five continents will be bankrupt, dismantled [and then] our two ancient peoples, the Jewish people, and the Persian people, will finally be at peace. The people of Israel stand with you."
After his speech, the hashtag "TnxBBfromIran" (Thanks, Bibi, from Iran) started trending on X as Iranians took to social media to thank Netanyahu from ridding them of Nasrallah.
One Iranian X user Yaar Dabestaani said the following to Netanyahu, "Hezbollah has been leeching off our wealth as Iranians like a parasite for decades, and during the protests in 2019 and 2022, they sent their forces to carry out massacres against us in cities all over Iran. Getting rid of Nasrallah was a dream for millions of us Iranians, and we really appreciate it. Right now, we’re celebrating at home, people are congratulating each other and laughing at the mourning of the Islamic regime. Please keep pushing hard. The ayatollahs are scared and totally on the ropes. Our interests as Iranians and yours as Israelis are totally aligned in taking down this regime."
