Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned that his troops may attack Iran and deliver blows it never dreamed of.
Netanyahu issued a stern warning to Iran and Hezbollah confirming that the Gaza war could continue for months.
“Iran leads the axis of evil and aggression against us on the various fronts,” Netanyahu stated.
“This aggression is directed not only against Israel but against the entire free world. We act against Iran all the time, everywhere, in every way,” Netanyahu said, as he declined to provide details to back up his statement.
He spoke as Israel continued its military operation to destroy Hamas in Gaza even as it thwarted Hezbollah violence along its northern border, working to contain the situation from escalating into a full-fledged war.
Netanyahu said that diplomacy was the best option to restore security to that border, but noted that Israel would not hesitate to act against the Iranian proxy group Hezbollah should those options fail.
“We approved operational plans for the continuation of the fighting. If Hezbollah expands the war – it will receive blows it never dreamed of, and so will Iran. We will act in any way until we restore security to the residents of the north,” Netanyahu stated.
“On the northern border, we are landing heavy blows against Hezbollah, eliminating many terrorists and destroying the enemy’s capabilities,” Netanyahu said in a press conference in Tel Aviv on Saturday night.
Netanyahu also underscored the importance of preventing a nuclear Iran, as the Islamic Republic continues to inch closer to weapons-grade uranium enrichment.
“Everyone understands today that the threat from Iran will increase dozens of times if Iran has nuclear weapons. And so the goal that I have been working for many years… remains the same: to do anything – anything – to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons,” he said.
