NETANYAHU: Iran Regime Collapse Could Mean “End Of Hezbollah, Hamas, And Houthis” [WATCH FULL INTERVIEW]

May 11, 2026·3 min read

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared Sunday that the war against Iran and its regional terror network is far from over, warning that Tehran still possesses enriched uranium, missile infrastructure, and active proxy forces across the Middle East.

Speaking in a wide-ranging interview on CBS’ “60 Minutes,” Netanyahu said the central unresolved threat remains Iran’s nuclear program and military capabilities.

“Because there’s still nuclear material, enriched uranium that has to be taken out of Iran, there is still enrichment sites that have to be dismantled,” Netanyahu said.

“There are still proxies that Iran supports. There are ballistic missiles that they still want to produce.”

The prime minister said Israel and the United States have already inflicted major damage on Iran’s capabilities, but stressed that significant work remains.

“We have degraded a lot of it, but all of that is still there, and there’s work to be done,” he said.

Netanyahu revealed that U.S. President Donald Trump agreed on the importance of removing Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium from the country.

Asked whether such a mission was feasible, Netanyahu responded: “I think it can be done physically. That’s not the problem.”

“If you have an agreement, and you go in and you take it out, why not? That’s the best way,” he added.

The Israeli leader also addressed the possibility of regime collapse in Tehran, suggesting such an outcome could fundamentally reshape the Middle East and dismantle Iran’s terror proxy empire.

“If this regime is indeed weakened or possibly toppled, I think it’s the end of Hezbollah,” Netanyahu said.

“It’s the end of Hamas, probably the end of the Houthis, because the whole scaffolding of the terrorist proxy network that Iran built collapses.”

Still, Netanyahu cautioned that predicting the downfall of the Islamic Republic remains impossible.

“I think you can’t predict when that will happen. Is it possible? Yes. Is it guaranteed? No,” he said.

Netanyahu compared the process to bankruptcy: “It proceeds gradually and then it falls.”

The prime minister also made headlines by saying he hopes Israel can eventually eliminate its dependence on American military aid, currently totaling approximately $3.8 billion annually.

“We receive $3.8 billion a year, and I think that it’s time that we weaned ourselves from the remaining military support,” Netanyahu said.

“I said, ‘Let’s start now and do it over the next decade.’”

Netanyahu also warned that Israel has suffered major setbacks in the information war, blaming manipulated social media campaigns and hostile propaganda for declining support in the United States.

“We have several countries that basically manipulated social media,” he said. “And they do it in a clever way. And that’s something that has hurt us badly.”

He added: “Israel is besieged on the media front, on the propaganda front, and we’ve not done well on the propaganda war.”

“We have to fight back against these lies, this propaganda, with the only weapon we have. It’s the truth.”

Netanyahu further claimed that China provided “certain amount of support and particular components of missile manufacturing” to Iran, though he declined to elaborate further.

Discussing regional diplomacy, Netanyahu said he believes the war has actually opened new opportunities for ties between Israel and Arab states.

“I now see the possibility of the expansion and deepening of the agreements we do have into alliances with Arab states of the kind that we never even dreamed of,” he said.
