Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, said his country will continue its war against Iran “with all our force.” In a televised speech, he stated that Israel and the United States had gained almost complete control of the skies over Tehran after about a week of air strikes.
Netanyahu said the attacks are part of a systematic plan to defeat Iran’s leadership and other enemies of Israel. He also addressed the Iranian public, saying the conflict represents a “moment of truth” for the region.
The escalation follows the start of joint U.S.–Israeli strikes on February 28, which reportedly killed hundreds of people, including Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, and several security officials.
In response, Iran has launched missiles and drones toward Israel and targeted U.S.-linked sites in Gulf countries and Jordan. The growing conflict is raising fears of wider instability across the Middle East.
