Netanyahu: Iran Can No Longer Enrich Uranium; Missile Production Destroyed; Acted Against Pars Alone
In a rare wartime press conference, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu opened with a jab at rumors about his condition: “First of all… I’m alive.” He went on to claim that Israel and the US are “protecting the entire Middle East… the entire world” – and after 20 days, he asserted: “we are winning, and Iran is being decimated.” Netanyahu further claimed that Iran’s missile and drone stockpiles are being “massively degraded” and “will be destroyed,” framing the campaign as an all-out dismantling of Tehran’s capabilities. Bust most importantly he said production capability has been ended.
He further addressed claims Israel dragged the US into war, calling it “fake news” and adding: “Does anyone really think that someone can tell President Donald Trump what to do? Come on.” He praised tight US-Israel coordination: “We are achieving goals in lightning speed” – and said he and Trump “see eye to eye,” adding the world “owes a debt… to President Trump for leading this effort.” He also stated that Israel acted against Pars alone, but that he will hold off on ordering future such attacks without US consent. Netanyahu also said the war will end “much sooner than people think”. And another key aspect to his remarks:
- Iran No Longer Able to Enrich Uranium
- Iran Lost Ability to Manufacture Missiles
