Netanyahu has stated that Israel is prepared to resume hostilities with Iran if necessary
In a video address, Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel is prepared to resume hostilities against Iran at any moment in order to achieve its objectives.
According to him, the temporary ceasefire between the US and Iran, which came into effect in coordination with Israel, does not mark the end of the campaign. He described it as a step towards fulfilling all the objectives set.
Netanyahu emphasised that Iran entered the negotiations in a weakened position. He said the country had agreed to open the Strait of Hormuz and had dropped its previous demands, particularly regarding the lifting of sanctions, compensation and the cessation of hostilities on other fronts.
The Prime Minister stated that Israel had achieved significant results in the war. He reported the destruction of missile production facilities, strikes on nuclear infrastructure, the destruction of weapons manufacturing plants and infrastructure sites, as well as the elimination of part of the leadership and the weakening of the power structure in Iran.
According to him, missile factories have been destroyed, and existing missile stocks are gradually being depleted. He also stated that strikes had been carried out against naval forces, aviation, missile bases and command centres.
Netanyahu noted that the enriched material remaining in Iran would be removed. He said this would happen either as part of agreements or as a result of renewed hostilities.
He also emphasised cooperation with US President Donald Trump and described the joint actions of the two countries as historic. According to him, the operations carried out by Israel and the US have changed the situation in the Middle East.
Netanyahu stated that the ceasefire with Iran does not extend to hostilities against Hezbollah. He noted that Israel continues to strike this group, having recently hit 100 targets in 10 minutes.
He also stated that Israel controls significant territories beyond its borders, notably in Lebanon, Syria and the Gaza Strip.
The Prime Minister stated that Israel would continue to act to eliminate threats and would continue to achieve its objectives.
