Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu confirmed that Israel damaged a key component of Iran’s nuclear program during an attack on Iranian military sites last month. The specifics of the targeted component remain unclear.
Netanyahu stressed that a nuclear-armed Iran threatens Israel’s security and regional peace, stating that Israel must stop Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
Despite President Biden’s request not to strike Iranian nuclear or oil facilities, Israel went ahead with the attack, targeting missile production and air defense systems.
Satellite images showed damage to Iran’s radar sites and missile production after Israel’s strike, weakening Iran’s missile capabilities.
Diplomatic efforts for a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah intensified, amid deadly cross-border attacks and rising casualties in Gaza and Lebanon.
