Netanyahu says Israel will attack Iran again if needed

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asserted on Tuesday that his pursuit of “total victory” against Iran and its proxies “never ends,” as he touted what he said have been Israel’s military gains over the past three years, while insisting that more work was left to do. Speaking to Israel's Channel 14, Netanyahu said Israel would continue to act independently to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, signalling that further military action remains a possibility despite ongoing diplomatic efforts.
He touted Israel’s killing of much of the leadership of Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran as well as the buffer zones Israel has established in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria, even as he appeared to acknowledge that the results of the Iran war fell short of the more definitive war aims he initially set to destroy Iran’s nuclear and missile programs and to help spark regime change. He defended Israel's previous operations against Tehran and suggested that another strike could follow if Israeli security concerns remain unresolved. "In Iran, we saved ourselves from atomic bombs," he said, adding: "There will be a third time if necessary." "Israel is stronger than it has ever been, and we have put off threats and weakened (our adversaries) considerably", he asserted.
