Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that military operations against Iran will continue “for as long as necessary,” emphasizing that Tehran has been deprived of the ability to enrich uranium and build ballistic missiles.
At a press conference, Netanyahu described Israel as “stronger than ever,” while, according to him, Iran is “weaker than ever.” He reiterated the government’s main objectives: the complete destruction of Iran’s nuclear program, the elimination of its ballistic missile program, and the creation of conditions for Iranians to “take their destiny into their own hands.”
Netanyahu stressed that Israel and the United States “protect the entire Middle East — and I dare say, the entire world,” adding that “America is not fighting for Israel.”
After 20 days of fighting, he stated that Israel is winning and that Iran is being destroyed, predicting that the conflict could end sooner than expected.
Regarding the energy impact, Netanyahu said that the Americans will reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which, according to him, will lower oil prices.
