US EditionIsrael has ‘won’ war with Iran, foreign minister says, but goals remain unmet
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said Iran is dramatically weakened after more than 2,000 deaths in the conflict, but military operations will continue until objectives are met.
- On Tuesday, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said 'We have already won', but noted the Israeli military has plans for the next three weeks and beyond.

- Diplomatic strains have emerged as US allies rebuffed calls to send warships, while Saar acknowledged that 'the regime' in Iran could only be toppled by the Iranian people, calling Iran's blockade 'modern piracy'.
