The speaker of Israel's Knesset, Amir Ohana, on Thursday expressed a desire to renew friendship with the Iranian people, stating that Israel's target is "the vicious Ayatollah regime."
Speaking at the site of an Iranian attack, he said, "We had friendship with the Iranian people for many years, and we look forward to renew that friendship. Our target is the vicious Ayatollah regime."
Iran has entered the second day of a near-total nationwide internet shutdown, according to NetBlocks, marking the most severe connectivity disruption since the 2019 protests.
Iran reserves the right to close the Strait of Hormuz if the United States joins Israel in military action against the Islamic Republic, Tehran MP Ali Yazdikhah said Thursday.
“If America enters the war, closing the Strait of Hormuz is our legitimate right,” Yazdikhah said, referencing the narrow waterway critical to global oil shipments.
