Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said yesterday, Sunday, June 23, in a televised press conference that Israel is "working to fundamentally change the face of the Middle East," indicating that his country is closer to achieving its strategic goals towards Iran.
Netanyahu explained that the recent American strikes targeting 3 Iranian nuclear sites have resulted in "unprecedented achievements" thanks to the close coordination between Israel and the United States.
He added: "We have achieved a lot, and thanks to President Trump, we are closer to achieving our goals."
Netanyahu pointed out that the Iranian nuclear facility in Fordow has suffered "severe damage" as a result of the American strikes, considering that the "exact extent of the damage has not been known yet," and confirmed that Israel is approaching its goal of destroying the Iranian nuclear and missile programs.
The Israeli Prime Minister emphasized that his country is not seeking a war of attrition, but it will not end its military campaign until the goals are achieved, saying: "We will not do more than what is required."
He added that the military campaign against Iran will only end when its specific goals are achieved, and that Israel has precise intelligence information about the locations where Iran stores 60% enriched uranium, enhancing Israel's ability to target these sites accurately.
This statement comes in the wake of recent American strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, which have led to escalating tensions in the region, amid warnings of the risks of nuclear contamination as a result of these attacks.
