Netanyahu: We will keep hitting Iran, in full coordination with Trump; 70% of Iran’s steel production capacity destroyed

Israel will continue striking Iran in coordination with the White House, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says during a situation assessment at the Kirya IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv.

“In full coordination between me and President Trump,” says the prime minister in a video statement released by his office, “and between the IDF and the United States military, we will continue to strike Iran. This regime is weaker than ever — Israel is stronger than ever.”

“Together with our American friends, we are continuing to strike the terrorist regime in Iran,” he reiterates. “We are eliminating commanders, bombing bridges and striking infrastructure.”

Netanyahu says that Israel’s Air Force destroyed 70% of Iran’s steel production capacity.

“This is a tremendous achievement that deprives the Revolutionary Guards of both financial resources and the ability to produce many weapons,” he says of the IRGC, the powerful military organization widely seen as effectively running the country.

“In Lebanon, we continue to strike Hezbollah decisively,” Netanyahu says, as IDF ground forces continue to operate in southern Lebanon. “We are expanding the security zone and establishing it to protect the communities in the north.”
