Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated during a press conference on Sunday that Israel has come “very close” to achieving its objectives against Iran, resulting in significant damage to Iran’s ballistic missile and nuclear facilities.

He emphasized that Israel will not engage in a “war of attrition” with Tehran under any circumstances, but also clarified that the operation will continue until its goals are fully accomplished.

Netanyahu said that Israel will continue its efforts to achieve its objectives, and once these are met, the operation will be concluded.

He also stressed that Israel is committed to ensuring its national security against two major threats — nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles — and that progress is ongoing to eliminate these dangers.

This statement from Israeli leadership comes at a time when attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities by the United States are ongoing, and regional tensions are escalating. Netanyahu affirmed that Israel will take all necessary measures to safeguard its security in this context.
