Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned that Iran is once again trying to rebuild its ability to produce nuclear weapons.
Speaking at the Western Wall ahead of Rosh Hashanah, Netanyahu said U.S. President Donald Trump was correct in saying that Iran is attempting to restore its nuclear capabilities. According to Netanyahu, Israel and the United States previously attacked Iran’s nuclear facilities and damaged its immediate ability to produce nuclear bombs.
Netanyahu said Iran is now trying to rebuild what was destroyed.
He made a strong promise to Israelis, saying that as long as he remains prime minister, Iran will not be allowed to have nuclear weapons.
Iran has repeatedly denied that it is developing nuclear weapons. Tehran says its nuclear program is intended for peaceful purposes, including energy and scientific research. However, international concerns about Iran’s nuclear activities remain high. The International Atomic Energy Agency has raised concerns about Iran’s cooperation with international inspectors and its nuclear activities.
Netanyahu also used his speech to discuss Israel’s military operations against Iran-backed groups across the region.
He said Israel is continuing to strike what he described as the Iranian axis. He pointed to Israel’s military campaign in the Gaza Strip and its operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
In Lebanon, Netanyahu said Israeli forces had destroyed the Beaufort Ridge and were now dealing with the Ali Taher Ridge. These areas are strategically important because their high ground provides views over parts of southern Lebanon and can be used for military operations.
Israel says its operations in southern Lebanon are aimed at reducing Hezbollah’s military capabilities and preventing the group from rebuilding positions near Israel’s northern border. Hezbollah, which is backed by Iran, has been involved in repeated fighting with Israel.
Netanyahu’s comments show that Israel continues to view Iran and its regional allies as major security threats. His government has repeatedly said that Israel must prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and weaken groups supported by Tehran.
The situation remains highly tense, with developments involving Iran’s nuclear program, Gaza and southern Lebanon continuing to raise fears of a wider regional conflict.
Netanyahu ended his remarks with a warning that Israel’s military campaign is not over, saying that more action is still to come.
Summary
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that Iran will not obtain nuclear weapons while he remains prime minister. Speaking at the Western Wall ahead of Rosh Hashanah, Netanyahu said Iran is trying to rebuild its nuclear capabilities after Israeli and U.S. strikes damaged its nuclear facilities. He also said Israel is continuing military operations against Iran-backed groups in Gaza and Lebanon. His comments come as tensions remain high over Iran’s nuclear program and fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.
