Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that the war on Iran was also aimed at enabling Iranians to overthrow the country's clerical rule.

"I have added a third objective, which is to create, for the Iranian people, the conditions to bring down this regime," Netanyahu said in a televised media briefing, adding that the other two goals remained preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons and destroying its ballistic missile capabilities.
