Netanyahu says Israel ‘on way’ to destroying Iran’s nuclear, missile threats

  • On June 16th, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion with over 200 fighter jets striking nuclear and ballistic missile sites in Tehran to disable Iran's weapon capabilities.
  • The operation was based on reliable intelligence, shared with the United States, revealing that Iran had stockpiled a quantity of highly enriched uranium sufficient to produce nine nuclear weapons and was only months away from developing a functional atomic device.
  • Israel destroyed more than 120 of Iran's ballistic missile launchers, much of its senior military leadership, air defenses, and the Quds Force headquarters, while Iran responded by launching missile and drone attacks mainly hitting civilian targets.
  • Prime Minister Netanyahu stated, “We had to act” to prevent a nuclear holocaust and vowed the operation would continue until the Iranian threat to Israel’s survival is eliminated.
  • The operation aims to neutralize Iran’s nuclear and missile threats, and Netanyahu said regime change in Iran "could certainly be the result" given the regime’s weakness.
