According to the Israeli leader, after twenty days of a war conducted in coordination with the United States, Iran no longer has the necessary infrastructure to enrich uranium or produce ballistic missiles.
Netanyahu painted a picture of devastation for the forces of Tehran, stating that the country is being "decimated" and that the allied victory could come "faster than people think." In a markedly forceful tone, he warned that Israeli and American forces will continue to strike the remnants of Iranian military power until they are "crushed" and reduced to "ashes". The Prime Minister detailed that the drone and missile arsenal has suffered a "massive degradation", highlighting the destruction of hundreds of launchers and the dismantling of key industries that allowed their production.
On the political front, the Prime Minister was emphatic in denying rumors suggesting Israeli manipulation to involve the White House in this confrontation. He dismissed these claims as "fake news" and defended President Donald Trump's independence of judgment. "Does anyone really believe that President Trump can be told what to do?" Netanyahu questioned before the journalists, emphasizing the autonomy of the American president.
Finally, Netanyahu praised the unprecedented harmony between Jerusalem and Washington, defining Trump as the undisputed leader of the operation and himself as his closest ally. "I don't think there have been two leaders so coordinated," he said, reinforcing the image of an unbreakable coalition seeking a definitive end to hostilities in the region.
