Netanyahu Admits Israeli Strikes Targeted Iran’s Nuclear Facilities


"This is no secret," Netanyahu said. "The attack targeted a specific element of their nuclear program." However, he did not disclose further details about the targeted component.

Netanyahu emphasized that despite the attack, Iran’s path to developing nuclear weapons has not been completely obstructed. He reiterated his stance that Iran’s nuclear program poses a significant threat to Israel and reaffirmed Israel's commitment to curbing Tehran’s military capabilities.

Experts suggest that this strike could further escalate tensions between Iran and Israel. So far, Tehran has not issued any official response to the attack.

Context: Israel has long expressed concerns over Iran’s nuclear ambitions, viewing them as a direct threat. The Israeli government has repeatedly stated its determination to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, using any means necessary.
