The Times of Israel reports: “A man said to be a retired colonel in the Iranian air force urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to facilitate a coup by striking the home of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, in an interview with Israel’s Channel 12 broadcast on Saturday.

‘Netanyahu needs to order an attack on Khamenei’s home,’ the man said.

‘And we, the military can take over sensitive political centers and officially announce Iran’s freedom and friendship with Israel,’ he added.

The man — whose face was blurred and who used the pseudonym Arash — also claimed 95 percent of Iranians were pleased with the IDF’s retaliatory strikes on military sites in the Islamic Republic, which he said has ‘taken us, the people, hostage.’

The man said Iranians ‘have this kind of wish that Israel will go further’ than it had in the April and October retaliatory strikes ‘so that the nation will be emboldened and take to the streets.’

‘They themselves will cut [the regime’s] roots from the country,’ he added, noting the weakening of Iran’s air defenses and its regional proxies…”
