Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu Declares Iran Can't Enrich Uranium or Build Missiles Anymore

  • On March 19, 2026, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Iran no longer has the capacity to enrich uranium or make ballistic missiles after 20 days of U.S.-Israeli air attacks.
  • Mediated talks over Iran's nuclear programme collapsed, prompting U.S. and Israeli forces to launch air attacks on Feb. 28, while Jan. 30, 2026 satellite imagery showed new construction at the Natanz nuclear site.
  • Netanyahu said strikes are dismantling component factories, destroying factories producing missile and nuclear components, and degrading Iran's missile and drone arsenals, though he did not provide evidence.
  • Netanyahu urged Iranians to act as Iran fired missiles at Israel and Gulf countries and limited tanker use of the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Despite nearly three weeks of conflict, Netanyahu said it is too soon to tell if Iranians will rise up, and he predicted the war could end faster than many expect.
