Images of women chopping their hair and protesting were briefly beamed to screens by pro-Israeli hackers, who have also knocked out banking services and destroyed Iranian crytpo.
The footage repeats famous rebellion motto: 'Women, life, freedom", that Netanyahu recited as he encouraged civilians to overthrow the creaking government.
The PM said this week: "In the end, [Iranians] have to rise up themselves, but we are creating the conditions."
A major Israeli hospital and an Iranian nuclear reactor were both blitzed during a sixth night of heavy missile exchange.
Soroka Hospital in Beersheba was severely damaged when it was struck by an Iranian ballistic missile, and Israel reported over 100 casualties across the country.
The IDF confirmed it attacked an "inactive" plutonium nuclear reactor in Arak to "prevent it from being restored and used for nuclear weapons".
After days of speculation, Trump has approved plans to attack Iran but is holding off in case Tehran agrees to abandon its nuclear programme, reports the Wall Street Journal.
If given the go-ahead, the plans would see the US join Israel in pounding Iran's nuke sites - which Tehran has warned would spark "all out war".

The UK is yet to declare whether it would stand with the US if it committed, as Attorney General Lord Hermer questions the legality of Israel's action, according to Sky, and Starmer held a Cobra meeting.
Trump has become much more vocal on the conflict, though still refuses to confirm his plans: "I may do it, I may not do it," he said on Wednesday about striking Iran.
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minster, Kazem Gharibabadi, hit back: 'If the US wants to actively intervene in support of Israel, Iran will have no other option but to use its tools to teach aggressors a lesson and defend itself."
Iran's Fordow nuclear development area is likely to be the prime target of any imminent US airstrikes.
Israel doesn't have the weapons to strike the core of the mountain fortress site, but the US has a fearsome 15-ton mega bomb, known as a Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bomb, which could bust it open.
Trump acknowledged the US is the only nation capable of blitzing the key nuke site, but added: "That doesn't mean I'm going to do it - at all."
He has also been manoeuvring US Air Force assets into battle-ready positions as the military stands ready to enact orders.
Iran's infrastructure has taken a serious pounding, with internet and banking services intermittently knocked out.
In a sign that panic is spreading, the regime has been reaching for ways halt Israel's surgical offensive through international conventions.
Iran today requested an emergency meeting of the UN's Security Council and reported Israel to the nuclear watchdog for supposed violations of international law.
The Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, has also arranged to meet with his European counterparts in Geneva tomorrow, according to state media.
And President Trump revealed that Iran has been knocking at the door to rekindle negotiations with the US towards a nuclear deal - an option which he has not yet totally ruled out.

US joining Israeli strikes would cause hell, Iranian minister tells BBC

The US joining Israeli strikes would cause "hell for the whole region", Iran's deputy foreign minister has told the Khatibzadeh said this is "not America's war" and if US President Donald Trump does get involved, he will always be remembered as "a president who entered a war he doesn't belong in".He said US involvement would turn the conflict into a "quagmire", continue aggression and delay an end to the "brutal atrocities". His comments came after the Soroka hospital in southern Israel was hit during an Iranian missile attack. Iranian state media reported that the strike targeted a military site next to the hospital, and not the facility itself. Israel's Ministry of Health said 71 people were injured during the attack on the Soroka Medical Centre. Meanwhile, Israel's military said it had targeted Iran's nuclear sites including the "inactive" Arak heavy water reactor and Natanz has not given an update on casualties in Iran from Israeli latest attacks come at a critical time. On Thursday, the White House said Trump would decide whether or not the US gets directly involved in the conflict within the next two to the BBC, Khatibzadeh insisted that "of course, diplomacy is the first option", but said but while bombardment continues "we cannot start any negotiation".He repeatedly called Iran's attacks on Israel "self defence under Article 51 of the UN Charter" and said "we were in the middle of diplomacy" when in a major escalation of the conflict on 13 June, Israel launched attacks on Iranian nuclear sites, killing several top generals and nuclear deputy foreign minister called the conflict "unprovoked" and "unnecessary". Responding to Trump's repeated comments that the conflict could have been avoided if Iran had accepted a nuclear deal, Khatibzadeh said they were negotiating until Israel "sabotaged" discussions by launching attacks Iran. "We were planning to have the sixth round of nuclear talks in Muscat, and we were actually on the verge of reaching an agreement," he said. "President Trump knows better than anybody else that we were on the verge of reaching an agreement." He also criticised Trump's "confusing and contradictory" social media posts and interviews, which he said indicated "that Americans have been aware and have participated" in the conflict. US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi have reportedly spoken on the phone several times since Friday, in a bid to find a diplomatic end to the crisis, Reuters reported. According to three diplomats who spoke to the news agency and asked not to be identified due to the sensitivity of the matter, Araqchi said Tehran would not return to negotiations unless Israel stopped the attacks. Israel has alleged Iran has recently "taken steps to weaponise" its enriched uranium stockpile, which can be used for power plants or nuclear bombs. Iran has always claimed that its nuclear programme is entirely Friday, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) - the UN's nuclear watchdog - said Iran had amassed enough uranium enriched up to 60% purity - a short technical step away from weapons grade, or 90% - to potentially make nuclear bombs."This is nonsense," Khatibzadeh said in response. "You cannot start a war based on speculation or intention."If we wanted to have a nuclear bomb, we would have had it way before."Iran has never developed any programme for nuclear weaponisation of peaceful nuclear activities. Bottom line." IAEA chief Rafael Grossi said that nuclear facilities "must never be attacked, regardless of the context or circumstances, as it could harm both people and the environment". Khatibzadeh also discussed potential diplomatic channels after a G7 summit in Canada. He said: "What we are hearing from Europeans is that they would like to get back to diplomacy at a ministerial level"."They are going to have a meeting in Geneva and we are very much happy that finally they have to come and talk at the table about the issues at hand."

Dubya Dubya II: Democrats see echoes of Bush Iraq War push in Trump's Iran nukes rhetoric

While Republicans largely fall in line behind President Donald Trump as he disregards experts and prepares for the United States to take on a larger role in Israel's war with Iran, using the pretense of nuclear weapons being built, Democrats are seeing flashbacks of the Iraq War. On Thursday, the White House said that the president would make his decision on whether to strike Iran in the next two weeks. This comes as the president has directly contradicted Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on whether Iran is actively building a nuclear weapon. That raised alarms for Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. 'If this president wants to completely ignore the intelligence community, we are playing in dangerous ground, and this is exactly the way we got ourselves into Iraq,' he told The Independent on Thursday. The parallels are quite stark. In 2002, in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, President George W. Bush insisted that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. At the time, the Bush administration maintained that Iraq posed an existential threat, with Secretary of State Colin Powell making the case in a presentation before the United Nations. After the United States invaded Iraq, it found little evidence of any weapons of mass destruction. Now, Warner's Democratic colleague from Virginia, Sen. Tim Kaine, has introduced a war powers resolution that would trigger debate and a vote for any military action against Iran. 'No one in Congress should on a matter of war, just say, let the President do what they want,' he told The Independent. 'The president can engage in self defense without an authorization, but the notion that we're being asked to join a bombing campaign in Iran is clearly offensive. I think it was. It's a horrible idea, but if my colleagues think it's a good idea, I think they should introduce war authorization.' Only six senators who voted against the Iraq War — either as members of the House of Representatives or as senators — remain in the Senate. 'We've discovered, particularly Middle East, it's easier to break things hard to put them together,' said Sen. Jack Reed, the top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee. 'So, and we've seen operations like the invasion of Iraq under George W. Bush, which for the first few weeks looked like it was brilliant. Nothing happened. And four years later, we were wondering, what are we doing here and how do we get out?' By contrast, 14 senators in either capacity voted for the Iraq War. Senate Majority Leader John Thune voted for it as a member of the House and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, then in his first term in the Senate, voted for it. In addition, Schumer is considered a hawk on Israel and Iran, having opposed the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the agreement brokered by the Obama administration and US allies to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions. The number of senators who remember the mistakes of Iraq continues to dwindle. Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the Senate minority whip who voted against it, is retiring at the end of next year. Sen. Adam Schiff of California, a veteran congressman who became a senator last year, voted for the war as a member of the House. One of the opponents of the Iraq war who remains is Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon, who sits on the Senate Intelligence Committee. Wyden voted against Gabbard's confirmation, but still criticized Trump. 'This wouldn't be the first time where Donald Trump has done an about face on foreign policy,' Wyden told The Independent. Sen. Bernie Sanders, the independent from Vermont who voted against the war as a congressman, who had his own resolution, joined onto Kaine's resolution. But even Democrats who came to Congress afterward, particularly those shaped by the War on Terror, want to rein in the president. Sen. Elissa Slotkin, a freshman from Michigan, joined the CIA after the September 11 attacks partly because she lived in New York on the day of the attack. Slotkin led a war powers resolution after Trump launched a strike that killed top Iranian military official Qasem Soleimani. She said she is looking at Kaine's language. 'I think Congress, ever since the Iraq War, has been scared to exercise their oversight role in war and Democrats and Republicans,' she told The Independent. 'So I've been pretty consistent that we need to get back to that.' By contrast, so far, few Republicans save for Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky have raised reservations about war with Iran. Paul's father, former congressman Ron Paul, voted against the War in Iraq. Below is a list of Senators who voted for and against the War in Iraq who remain in Congress. Yes as Senators: Yes in the House: Adam Schiff (D-CA) John Boozman (R-AR) Lindsey Graham (R-SC) John Thune (R-SD) Roger Wicker (R-MS) Jerry Moran (R-KS) Ed Markey (D-MA) Shelly Capito (R-WV) Senators who voted No: Dick Durbin (D-IL) Patty Murray (D-WA) Jack Reed (D-RI) Ron Wyden (D-OR) Democrats who voted No as House members: Bernie Sanders (I-VT) Tammy Baldwin (D-WI)

Iran can avert US strike, Lammy believes

Foreign Secretary David Lammy has emerged from a meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and special envoy Steve Witkoff convinced that President Trump 'genuinely wants a deal' with Iran to render US bombing unnecessary. During an hour-long meeting in the Whitehouse with Rubio and Witkoff, Lammy and British ambassador Lord Mandelson were reassured that Keir Starmer's hopes that the conflict between Israel and Iran can be de-escalated are not wishful thinking, sources tell me. However, Witkoff and Rubio shared their scepticism with their UK counterparts that the Iranian regime, led by Ali Khamenei, has the cohesion or willingness to grasp the peace offer being made by the Whitehouse - which would require Iran to provably and permanently abandon all development of nuclear weapons. An important staging post and test will come tomorrow in Geneva, when European foreign ministers, including Lammy, will meet Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi. After that, any serious peace talks would require Witkoff to meet Iranian negotiators, but the Iranians have said they will not negotiate while Israel continues to bomb their country. The UK government believes there are two weeks for a route to be found through this impasse. The UK asked President Trump to delay any military action for a fortnight, and the Whitehouse today confirmed the president would decide whether to join Israel's attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities and military bases within the next 14 days. A source told me: 'Whilst they (Rubio and Witkoff) are currently pessimistic about the diplomatic pathway, they are very interested in hearing what the foreign secretary will have to say tomorrow, having met the Iranian foreign minister with European colleagues.'
