Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he welcomed international support in targeting Iran’s nuclear sites, nearly a week into Israeli air raids on the country. On Thursday he said that Israel is “ahead of schedule” in its military campaign against Iran, exceeding prior expectations and poised for further success. In an interview with the Kan public broadcaster, Netanyahu said Israel has destroyed at least half of Iran’s missile launchers, eliminated key military leaders, is targeting paramilitary forces and will hit all of Iran’s nuclear sites — including the heavily fortified Fordo nuclear facility.
He also said, "President Donald Trump will do what is good for the United States, and I will do what is good for the State of Israel." Addressing concerns over Israel’s reportedly depleted stock of Arrow missile interceptors, Netanyahu said the US was resupplying them. Netanyahu said the IDF is “systematically” targeting Iran’s full range of weapons systems. Asked whether Israel can destroy the underground Fordo facility without assistance from the United States, Netanyahu said, “We will achieve all our objectives and hit all of their nuclear facilities. We have the capability to do that.” Fordo is buried under a mountain and widely considered to be out of reach of all but America’s “bunker-buster” bombs.
Netanyahu accused Biden of trying to block earlier operations against Iranian proxies: “He imposed an embargo, said: ‘Don’t enter Gaza, don’t go into Rafah.'” The premier stated that he resisted Biden’s warnings, which Netanyahu said set a precedent for how he’ll act if Israel faces similar pressure during the Iran war. Meanwhile, the Israeli military has issued an evacuation warning to the residents of Sefidroud industrial town near Kolesh Taleshan village in Gilan province, northern Iran.
