Netanyahu says Israeli strikes have killed top nuclear scientists

DUBAI: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israeli attacks have killed top Iranian nuclear scientists.
Speaking Thursday night at a news conference, Netanyahu denounced Iran’s new supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, as a “puppet of the Revolutionary Guards” who cannot appear in public. And he addressed the Iranian people, saying the moment for a “new path of freedom” was approaching and that Israel stands with them.
“But at the end of the day, it depends on you. It is in your hands,” he said.
