Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
“President Trump announced this evening that Iran is trying once again to arm itself with nuclear weapons. That is correct.
After we destroyed its immediate ability to produce nuclear bombs, both in Operation Rising Lion and in Operation Lion’s Roar, they are trying again.
I pledge to you here, at the Western Wall, ahead of Rosh Hashanah: As long as I am prime minister, Iran will not have nuclear weapons.
At the same time, we are striking the Iranian axis—not only very hard in the Gaza Strip, but also in Lebanon. We destroyed the Beaufort ridge, and now we are dealing with the Ali Taher ridge.
More to come.”
