Netanyahu says Iranian leaders are ‘packing their bags’
In an English video statement, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Iranian leaders are “packing their bags” amid Israel’s airstrikes.
“I’ll tell you what would have come if we hadn’t acted. We had information that this unscrupulous regime was planning to give the nuclear weapons that they would develop to their terrorist proxies. That’s nuclear terrorism on steroids. That would threaten the entire world,” he says.
He adds that the operation has the “clear support” of US President Donald Trump.
“Our enemy is your enemy… We’re dealing with something that will threaten all of us sooner or later. Our victory will be your victory,” Netanyahu says, wishing the US leader a happy birthday.
“This is what Israel is doing with the support, the clear support of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, and the American people and many others in the world.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
I want to start by wishing a double Happy Birthday.
First Happy Birthday to you, @POTUS @realDonaldTrump. You've been an extraordinary leader: decisive, courageous, clear vision, clear action. You have done great things for Israel. pic.twitter.com/9AQyUgktSC— Prime Minister of Israel (@IsraeliPM) June 14, 2025
