The question is no longer whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been brave in confronting the terrorist Iranian regime. He has shown courage in words and targeted actions. The real question is whether he is brave enough now to finish the job: to liberate the Iranian people and dismantle the bloodthirsty regime in Tehran once and for all.
Netanyahu's own history at the United Nations speaks to his awareness of the threat, he stood before the General Assembly with a simple images of a bomb, warning the world that the terrorist Iranian regime was nearing nuclear capability. He has repeated that warning for years, often as the only leader willing to state the truth plainly. But warnings are no longer enough. The time for liberation is here.
Central to any serious plan to topple the terrorist Iranian regime is the Kurdish question. The Kurds are the indigenous native people of Iran, Turkey, Syria and Iraq. They have been divided, repressed and denied statehood for a century. Yet their national movement remains a potent force. If empowered, the Kurds could serve as the decisive tool to topple the oppressive regimes in the region and create a new, balanced power structure.
A rising Kurdish nation would pose a direct and existential threat to the stability of those regional powers that have long crushed them—and that is precisely why the terrorist Iranian regime fears the Kurds more than any external enemy.
Netanyahu has been brave, but he must do far more if he wants his name remembered as the savior and liberator of the Iranian people and all the region's ethnic groups. Allowing the terrorist Iranian regime to survive, to rebuild, and especially to control the Strait of Hormuz, is the biggest strategic mistake one can make. The Strait of Hormuz is the lifeline of global energy. Handing it to a murderous, theocratic regime is an unforgivable error that threatens not only Israel but the entire world.
There is every good reason to be brave now. The terrorist Iranian regime is weak. It has no real leadership. This regime violates human rights, executes and represses its own people, and threatens the entire region. Its economy is collapsing, its people are rising, and its regional proxies are being dismantled. The regime is, in effect, almost gone. What is left of it is not worth much—but it is still capable of immense evil if given time to recover. Anyone who watched the October 7 genocide against the Jewish people understands that this regime will not stop. It does not require a genius to know that as long as the terrorist Iranian regime remains in power, the Jewish people will never truly be safe. The regime will do far more than October 7 if it is allowed to recover and rearm.
That is why Benjamin Netanyahu must be brave now. He has the potential and the capability to destroy this evil Iranian regime once and for all. The Kurdish movements will be ready to do the fighting on the ground, but it needs the opportunity, the weapons and the political backing.
Netanyahu can be the man loved by millions of Iranians, Kurds and other ethnic groups across the region. He can be the liberator history remembers—not just the prime minister who warned.
The bloodthirsty terrorist Iranian regime must end, and end soon. Its collapse is inevitable, but whether it happens through internal revolution or through decisive external action depends on leadership. Benjamin Netanyahu, be brave now. Finish the task. The Jewish people, the Iranian people and the entire region will be safer for it.
