Netanyahu says Iranians “deserve better”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned Iranians that life under the regime could get worse and that they deserve better than the government they currently have.

Netanyahu said Rouhani did not "represent the Iranian people" in an interview with BBC Persia.

"He represents a desire for change, but it wasn't expressed in a free open election."

"I don't think he has the mandate to change the real decisions that are made by Khamenei. Khamenei wants nuclear weapons for Iran."

"If they get nuclear weapons this brutal regime will be immortal, like North Korea. It will go on repressing the people of Iran, who deserve better. They are a great people."
