Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu explained the rationale behind the recent US-Israel strikes on Iran, stating that Tehran was rapidly strengthening its underground sites, which could have made its nuclear and ballistic missile programs untouchable within months.
Speaking to Fox News, Netanyahu said, “They started building new sites, underground bunkers, that would make their ballistic missile and atomic bomb programs immune within months. If no action was taken now, no action could be taken in the future.” He emphasized that the preemptive strikes were necessary to prevent Iran from becoming militarily invulnerable.
This statement contrasts with claims made by Netanyahu and former President Donald Trump after last year’s June strikes, when they described the attacks as a “historic victory” and asserted that Iran’s nuclear program had been “totally obliterated.”
Addressing concerns over a prolonged conflict, Netanyahu dismissed the idea of an extended war. “You’re not going to have an endless war because this terror regime in Iran is at its weakest point. This is going to be a quick and decisive action,” he said, adding that the strikes aim to create conditions for regime change in Iran. According to Netanyahu, “95 percent of the problems in the Middle East are generated by Iran.”
He also countered accusations that Israel had dragged the US into the conflict. “That’s ridiculous. Donald Trump is the strongest leader in the world. He does what he thinks is right for America, and what he thinks is right for future generations,” Netanyahu said.
