Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a speech held on Tuesday that his country obtained a “historical victory” against the Iran Islamic regime after the end of the military operation that resulted in the destruction of nuclear and missile facilities in the Persian country. The Israeli Premier’s speech was made hours after the ceasefire between Israel and Iran, which ended 12 days in a row direct confrontations in the Middle East.
In his speech, Netanyahu highlighted the role of the United States, under the leadership of President Donald Trump, in the offensive against the Islamic regime.
“Israel has never had a friend like President Trump at the White House, and I thank you very much for our joint work,” said the prime minister, highlighting the alignment between the two countries during the days of confrontation.
According to Netanyahu, the Israeli offensive, with US support, managed to neutralize strategic targets from the Iranian nuclear program.
“The forces of the United States have destroyed Fordow’s underground space,” said the prime minister, talking about the destruction of Iran’s main nuclear power plant. He also assured that “we sent the nuclear program of Iran by the drain” and made it clear that any attempt by the Persian country to reconstruct its capabilities will be fought.
“If someone in Iran tries to restore this program, we will act with the same determination, the same power, to cut any attempt,” he said.
With this military advance, Netanyahu stated that Israel’s priority is now to defeat the terrorist group Hamas in the Gaza Strip and to ensure the return of all Israeli hostages. “We need to defeat Hamas and bring the hostages back,” he said.
Finally, the prime minister signaled that military success against Iran could open a new regional scenario. According to him, “with the Iranian axis in Frangalhos, Israel will inaugurate an axis of prosperity and peace between the nations of the region and beyond.”
The conflict between Israel and Iran ended on Tuesday after US mediation and pick up.
