Hundreds of thousands of Iranians who fled the country following the Islamic Revolution in 1979 are sensing that this time, regime change is closer than ever amid joint military operations by Israel and the United States.

The strikes targeted infrastructure at a large-scale missile site used by the Iranian regime to prepare attacks against Israel and other countries in the region, the military said.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu extended a heartfelt Happy Nowruz to the Iranian people, wishing them a year of freedom from the already-weakened tyrannical regime and expressing hope for a peaceful future.

Ordinary Iranian civilians, who have been under bombardment for over a week, are revealing their feelings as they hope this military offensive will be the last and will finally enable the overthrow of the regime.
