Israel's Ambassador to the U S Yechiel Leiter declared there will be various surprises amid the Jewish State's conflict with Iran that will make Israel's explosions of pagers and walkie-talkies used by members of Hezbollah in Lebanon and Syria last year look simple We've pulled off a number of surprises Leiter explained during a Tuesday appearance on the TV framework Merit Street When the dust settles you're going to see selected surprises on Thursday night and Friday that will make the beeper operation almost seem simple he continued Leiter was referring to near-simultaneous detonations of pagers used by members of the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group that killed at least people including two children and wounded nearly on Sept in Lebanon and Syria The following day at least people were killed and more than were wounded when walkie-talkies were detonated in the region TRUMP RUBIO CUTTING G TRIP SHORT RETURNING TO DC AS CHATTER INDICATES IRANIANS FLEEING TEHRANIsrael was subsequently identified to be behind the attacks in which small amounts of explosives hidden in the devices were detonated A U S official narrated The Associated Press at the time that Israel briefed the U S executive after the attacks But then-Secretary of State Antony Blinken mentioned the U S did not know about nor was it involved in these incidents Leiter on Tuesday also posted a video message on X that was recorded outside the Situation Room in the Israeli Embassy in Washington D C where he explained that Israel was not in the business of regime change MIKE JOHNSON CALLS OFF ISRAEL TRIP AMID IRAN CONFLICT In the current era we continue to peel back the surface-to-surface missile systems that are spread throughout Iran We've reached the point where between a third and a half have been demolished he stated We hit in contemporary times the broadcast center in the middle of Tehran after we informed the people living in the vicinity to leave Hundreds of thousands of Tehranis have escaped Tehran to be out of the line of danger And we took out the broadcast system This is very significant because this serves the mullahs and their information campaign the propaganda campaign throughout Iran to incite the inhabitants and to warn the constituents against any kind of demonstrations against the establishment the ambassador continued A lot of questions have been urged in current times about regime change In multiple of the interviews that I gave that was the key question We're not in the business of regime change We're interested in neutralizing the threat to our existence through a nuclear weaponization effort in Iran and a ballistic missile initiative Iran has maintained that its nuclear operation is peaceful and U S intelligence agencies and the International Atomic Potential Agency have stated Iran was not pursuing a nuclear weapon If the Iranian people rise up and change their regime that's their choice Leiter disclosed And if we play a role in facilitating that eventuality then history will judge us favorably I believe It's fundamental also to emphasize that our economic system remains strong and resilient despite the war and the stock field in Israel once again for the second day in a row continued to rise We are working very hard to assist those stranded both in Israel wanting to leave and those wanting to get back to Israel to their families to their positions in society and the army he added And we're hoping to find solutions through our neighbors in the next couple of days We continue to press on We continue to press forward And we thank you for your advocacy and prayers Fox News' Greg Norman and Jennifer Griffin contributed to this statement
