Netanyahu says signs of Iran regime collapse visible, yet it may survive

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said there are “many signs” of the Iranian regime’s potential collapse, but stopped short of guaranteeing it.

Netanyahu said Israel is working to create conditions that could lead to such an outcome while acknowledging the regime may still survive.

“There are many indications of the collapse of the Iranian regime. Many,” Netanyahu said at a Thursday press conference. “I wish I could reveal all of them, but I can see they exist.”

“Can I promise right now that the regime will collapse? I cannot,” he added. “I can say that we are trying to create conditions for that to happen, but it may survive and it may not.”

“If it survives, it will be much weaker; there is no comparison,” he said, adding the regime would lose “the death industries it has built over decades” and many of its other capabilities.

He also warned that Iran would face harsher consequences if it attempted to rebuild.

F-35 makes emergency landing after suspected Iranian fire

A US F-35 fighter jet flying a combat mission over Iran made an emergency landing at a US airbase in the Middle East, the Pentagon said, with sources telling CNN they suspect the aircraft may have been hit by Iranian fire.

A US Central Command spokesperson confirmed the jet landed safely and the pilot was in “stable condition,” adding the incident remains under investigation.

CNN, citing two sources, reported the aircraft was potentially struck by Iranian fire, which could mark the first such incident since the war began on Feb. 28.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard later claimed responsibility for downing an F-35, according to Reuters, but said “the fate of this fighter jet is unknown and is under investigation, and there is a high probability that it crashed.”

Iranian state media released a video that purportedly shows the targeting of the US aircraft.

'Collapse from within': Bessent says US seeing defections in Iran at all levels

"We are seeing defections [in Iran] at all levels as they're starting to sense what's going on with the regime," US Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent told reporters.

"It doesn't get reported here in the US very well, but we are trouncing them from the air, and the regime will probably collapse within itself."

"At treasury, we've seen where they've wired their money out of the country. We're coming for that. We're going to get it back to the Iranian people," Bessent said.

He strongly denounced the Iranian attacks on regional energy facilities and called for its immediate cessation, rejecting Iran's claims that the attacks were aimed at US-linked sites.
