Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed Israel is “very close” to dismantling Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities.
Speaking at a press conference on Sunday (local time), Mr Netanyahu said Israel is “moving step by step towards achieving these goals”.
“We won’t pursue our actions beyond what is needed to achieve them, but we also won’t finish too soon,” he said.
“When the objectives are achieved, then the operation is complete and the fighting will stop.”
“I have no doubt that this is a regime that wants to wipe us out, and that’s why we embarked on this operation to eliminate the two concrete threats to our existence: the nuclear threat, the ballistic missile threat.”
Mr Netanyahu also asserted that the US strikes caused substantial damage to Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility, a heavily fortified underground uranium enrichment site.
