Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel and the United States are protecting the entire world through a military operation against Iran. He claimed that Israeli strikes have significantly reduced Tehran’s military capabilities and asserted that Iran can no longer enrich uranium or produce ballistic missiles, though he provided no evidence to support these claims.

Netanyahu said the operation aims to eliminate Iran’s nuclear and missile threats by targeting facilities buried deep underground. He also suggested that the campaign would give the Iranian people a chance to take control of their own destiny. Addressing reports that Israel had drawn the United States into the conflict, Netanyahu dismissed them as “fake news,” adding that no one could dictate actions to President Trump.

The remarks were reported by Middle East Eye and come amid ongoing regional tensions and reports of Israeli drone activity over Iran.
