⚡Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video message on Saturday, 24 Aban (14 November), citing the Islamic Republic’s efforts to rebuild its nuclear program, that the time has come to remove the Islamic Republic’s threat “once and for all.”

In the remarks, released after his Thursday meeting with Gadi Eisenkot about forming the cabinet, Netanyahu said: “The Iranian regime, which seeks the destruction of Israel, is again working to revive its nuclear program.” He added: “Let this be clear; this murdering regime, which did not hesitate in the killing of thousands of its own people, will not hesitate in using a nuclear weapon against us either.”

The Israeli prime minister added that the Islamic Republic would carry out such an action as soon as it is able to resume uranium enrichment and rapid development of nuclear weapons.

Referring to two prior Israeli military operations against Iran last year, he said those operations “averted the immediate danger of destruction,” but now this “existential threat” must be completely eliminated.
