Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel has inflicted “serious damage” on Iran’s nuclear facilities in its airstrikes over the past two days.
“We also hit the team of senior scientists who are leading these projects,” he says in a video statement, saying that strikes have delayed Iran’s nuclear program for several years.
“There is also a major threat from the ballistic missiles,” he adds, casting the projectiles as another method Iran means to use to eliminate Israel. He says Israel is eliminating their ability to produce such weapons..
“Very soon, you will see IAF planes above Tehran’s skies. We will hit every target of the ayatollahs’ regime,” Netanyahu states, adding the strikes carried out so far are nothing compared to what will be experienced in the coming days.
