The announcement came in a video statement early Friday, where Netanyahu outlined Israel's tactical strikes against Iran's top nuclear sites, specifically targeting the "main enrichment facility in Natanz" alongside missile capabilities and influential Iranian nuclear scientists. “We struck at the heart of Iran’s nuclear enrichment program. We struck at the heart of Iran’s nuclear weaponization program,” he declared. Detailing Israel's strategic targets, he added that the attacks included nuclear installations, air defense systems, residences of senior officials, and weapons depots.
As alarm spread across the nation, civilians sought refuge in public shelters in anticipation of Iranian retaliatory strikes. The Israeli defense ministry declared a national state of emergency, warning the populace to prepare for missile and drone attacks from Iran. Netanyahu justified the aggressive maneuvers by asserting the need to eradicate the present existential threat posed by a potential nuclear state. He emphasized, “We can’t leave these threats for the next generation. If we don’t act now, there won’t be a next generation.”
As the nation braces for the impending challenges, Netanyahu framed the current events as a chapter of both difficulty and potential triumph, evoking historical references to the Holocaust to stress the gravity of a nuclear-armed Iran. “Together, with God’s help, we will ensure Israel’s eternity,” he concluded, highlighting the existential stakes involved.
This latest development represents a significant escalation in the enduring conflict involving Israel and Iranian-backed groups, with potential ramifications for regional stability and global security.
