以色列總理納坦雅胡(Benjamin Netanyahu)發表正式聲明:
以色列的弟兄姊妹、親愛的國民們:
就在不久前,以色列與美國攜手展開行動,目的是消除來自伊朗恐怖政權對我們生存所構成的根本威脅。我要特別感謝我們偉大的朋友——美國總統唐納德·特朗普(Donald Trump)——展現歷史性的決斷與領導。
47年來,伊朗的阿亞圖拉政權(Ayatollah regime)不斷高喊「消滅以色列」、「消滅美國」的口號;它不僅讓我們流血,也奪走了許多美國人的生命,甚至殘酷鎮壓、屠殺自己的人民。這樣一個充滿殺戮與恐怖的政權,絕不能被允許擁有核武器。
因為一旦如此,受到威脅的將不只是以色列,而是整個人類社會。我們今天的聯合行動,是為伊朗勇敢的人民創造機會,使他們有一天能真正掌握自己的未來。
現在,是伊朗各族群——無論是波斯人、庫德人、阿塞拜疆人、俾路支人,還是阿瓦茲人——擺脫專制壓迫、迎向自由與和平的時刻。
我也呼籲全體以色列公民,務必遵守本土防衛司令部的指引。接下來「怒獅行動」(Operation Roaring Lion)的日子,將考驗我們的耐心與意志。我們必須同心站立、並肩奮戰,共同守護以色列的未來與永存。
Statement by The Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu:
"My brothers and sisters, citizens of Israel, a short while ago, Israel and the United States embarked on an operation to remove the existential threat posed by the terrorist regime in Iran.
I thank our great friend, President Donald Trump, for his historic leadership.
For 47 years, the Ayatollah regime has called for 'Death to Israel' and 'Death to America.' It has spilled our blood, murdered many Americans, and massacred its own people.
This murderous terrorist regime must not be allowed to arm itself with nuclear weapons that would enable it to threaten all of humanity.
Our joint action will create the conditions for the brave Iranian people to take their destiny into their own hands.
The time has come for all segments of the people in Iran – the Persians, the Kurds, the Azeris, the Balochis, and the Ahwazis – to rid themselves of the yoke of tyranny and bring about a free and peace-seeking Iran.
I appeal to you, citizens of Israel, to comply with the directives of the Home Front Command. The coming days of Operation Roaring Lion will demand patience and fortitude from all of us.
We shall stand together, fight together, and ensure the eternity of Israel together."
