Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said the country is “stronger than ever” following its conflict with Iran, describing the campaign as part of a broader fight against “forces of evil.” Speaking at a state ceremony in West Jerusalem, Netanyahu said Israel, alongside the United States, is leading efforts against global threats.
“Israel is stronger than ever and together with the United States we are leading the fight against the forces of evil in the world,” he said, according to The Times of Israel. He added that Israeli strikes had weakened Iran’s capabilities. “We dealt a heavy blow to the threat system in Iran, undermining its ability to endanger us.”
He said Iran’s newly elected supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, was a “puppet of the Revolutionary Guards” who could not appear in public after the supreme leader issued a statement that was read on state TV by a news anchor, Al Jazeera reported.
Earlier, Netanyahu had said the ongoing effort against Iran is far from finished, warning that further developments could unfold at any moment. Speaking alongside Argentinian President Javier Milei, Netanyahu said the situation remains fluid and unpredictable.
“Any moment could bring us new developments,” he said. “Who knows what tomorrow or the day after tomorrow will bring?”
He added that both the United States and Israel remain committed to their goals in the conflict. “The US and Israel shall achieve our objectives and achieve more hope, more light for the free peoples of the world,” Netanyahu said.
