Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett declared that the countdown for regime change in Iran will begin once Israel forms a new government, sharply criticising Netanyahu's tenure as ending in 'historic failure' against Iran. Iran's survival as a hostile revolutionary regime is directly significant to biblical prophecy, as Scripture identifies a northern coalition including Persia — modern-day Iran — as a key aggressor against Israel in the last days. This aligns with Ezekiel 38, which names Persia among the nations that will come against Israel before divine intervention reshapes the geopolitical order.
