Netanyahu Hails "Historic Victory," Vows Continued Campaign Against Iran and Hamas

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared what he called a “historic victory” following a 12-day conflict with Iran, asserting that Israel has successfully dismantled Tehran’s nuclear capabilities and neutralized major missile threats. In a video address, Netanyahu stated, “We have removed two immediate existential threats to us—the threat of nuclear annihilation and the threat of annihilation by 20,000 ballistic missiles”.

The Prime Minister credited U.S. President Donald Trump for his unprecedented support, highlighting American military strikes that reportedly destroyed Iran’s underground enrichment facility at Fordow. Netanyahu emphasized that Israel would act with the same “determination and strength” if Iran attempted to revive its nuclear program.

Despite the ceasefire, Netanyahu made it clear that Israel’s campaign is far from over. He reaffirmed his commitment to defeating Hamas and securing the release of hostages still held in Gaza since the October 2023 attacks.

The announcement has drawn mixed reactions globally, with some praising the strategic success and others raising concerns about the long-term implications for regional stability.
