Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday (March 22) said Iran "threatens the entire world and has to be stopped" during a visit to the site of an Iranian missile strike in Arad, southern Israel.

Netanyahu called on world leaders to "join up" to "confront this terrorist, fanatic regime of zealots."

"That is a call not only for the security of America and the security of Israel, it's for the security of the entire world. And it's time for them to act," he told reporters at the site, saying that Israel was responding to the strikes "with great force, but not on civilians," but rather on the Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRGC).

Asked what victory would look like in this military campaign, Netanyahu said Israel and the United States had two clear goals in ending the conflict with Iran.

"One is to break completely their nuclear program, break completely their missile program, break completely their capacity to produce the components for both of these programs. We're well on our way in achieving it."

"We've also set a goal of creating conditions for the Iranian people to overthrow this tyranny that has tormented them and made life miserable, and is making life miserable for the entire world. And I hope we achieve that too," he said.

Late on Saturday, Iranian missiles struck the southern Israeli cities of Dimona and Arad, injuring dozens of people, including children, in separate strikes. Iran's Revolutionary Guards said in a statement early Sunday that they targeted "military installations" and security centers in southern Israel.

More than 2,000 people have been killed in Iran since the U.S. and Israel began their attacks. In Israel, 15 people have been killed in Iranian strikes since the war started.

2. (SOUNDBITE) (English) ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER, BENJAMIN NETANYAHU, SAYING:

"If you want proof that Iran endangers the entire world, the last 48 hours have given it. In the last 48 hours, Iran targeted a civilian area. They're doing that as a mass murder weapon. Luckily, no one was killed, but that's due to luck, not their intention. Their intention is to murder civilians.

Second, they are using, they fired on Jerusalem right next to the holy sites of the three monotheistic faiths, the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. And by dint of a miracle, again, none of them were hurt, but they were targeting the holy sites of the three major monotheistic religions.

Third, they fired an intercontinental ballistic missile on Diego Garcia. That's 4,000 kilometers. I've been warning all the time. They have now the capacity to reach deep into Europe. They already have fired on European countries, Cyprus. They are putting everyone in their sights.

And fourth, they're stopping a maritime international route (Strait of Hormuz), energy route and trying to blackmail the entire world.

What more proof do you need that this regime that threatens the entire world has to be stopped? Israel and the United States are working together for the entire world. And it's time to see the leaders of the rest of the countries join up. I'm happy to say that I can see some of them beginning to move in that direction, but more is needed. President Trump's call to have the international community confront this terrorist, fanatic regime of zealots, that is a call not only for the security of America and the security of Israel, it's for the security of the entire world. And it's time for them to act."

REPORTER OFF-CAMERA: "Sir, what will your response be to this attack on Israeli civilians?"

NETANYAHU: "We're responding with great force, but not on civilians. We're going after the regime. We're going after the IRGC, this criminal gang, and we're going after them personally, their leaders, their installations, their economic assets. We're going after them very strongly."

REPORTER OFF-CAMERA: "What does victory look like in this campaign?"

NETANYAHU: "Well, we've defined two clear goals: One is to break completely their nuclear program, break completely their missile program, break completely their capacity to produce the components for both of these programs. We're well on our way in achieving it. We've also set a goal of creating conditions for the Iranian people to overthrow this tyranny that has tormented them and made life miserable, and is making life miserable for the entire world. And I hope we achieve that too."

REPORTER OFF-CAMERA: "Overnight, President Trump said that if in 48 hours the Iranians don't open the Strait of Hormuz, that there would be strikes against the power grids in Iran. Will you participate in those strikes, and what do you think should happen next in this campaign?"

NETANYAHU: "I think President Trump knows exactly what he's doing, and whatever we do, we do together and as far as possible in confidence. Thank you."
