Netanyahu says Israel ‘on way’ to destroying Iran’s nuke, missile threats

Israel “controls the skies over Tehran,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says, echoing statements by the IDF spokesman earlier in the day.

“This is a change in the entire campaign,” he continues during a visit to the Tel Nof Airbase in central Israel, joined by Defense Minister Israel Katz and IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir.

Netanyahu says Israel is “on the way” to achieving its goals of destroying the Iranian nuclear and ballistic missile threats.

“When we control the skies over Tehran, we are hitting these targets, the targets of the regime, unlike the criminal regime of Iran that targets our citizens and comes to kill children and women,” he says.

Israel, in contrast, is telling Tehran’s residents to “get out” while the IAF strikes targets in the capital, says Netanyahu.
