Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the Nation on Friday afternoon and says the strikes against Iran were ordered in November 2024, following the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Netanyahu revealed that the decision was driven by fears Iran would accelerate its nuclear ambitions after its proxy network was dismantled by Israel.
Originally planned for late April 2025, the operation was delayed for undisclosed reasons. However, after Israeli strikes crippled Iran’s ballistic missile program last year, intelligence revealed Tehran was producing 300 ballistic missiles monthly. “We decided we couldn’t wait anymore. We are at midnight,” Netanyahu declared.
The opening strikes, described as “very successful,” obliterated the Natanz nuclear facility, eliminated key Iranian military leaders, and targeted top nuclear scientists. Netanyahu hailed the “amazing work” of the IDF and Mossad, which silenced doubts about Israel’s capabilities.
Acknowledging the inevitability of Iranian retaliation, Netanyahu warned, “It will come.” He predicted “very severe attacks, in waves,” urging Israelis to remain vigilant and follow authorities’ instructions. “Don’t go into euphoria,” he cautioned, emphasizing efforts to minimize the cost to Israel without elaborating.
Addressing U.S. involvement, Netanyahu admitted he had hoped for Washington’s support in cabinet discussions but stressed Israel had no alternative. “If we don’t attack, it’s 100% that we will die,” he said. “We have to change the direction of Iran’s military build-up, both its ballistic and nuclear weapons.” While U.S. backing—or at least non-opposition—remains “extremely desirable,” Israel acted unilaterally to ensure its survival.

Trump may not have given his approval but you can be sure he appreciates it!!
Where are your thanks to HASHEM??!!
Thank Hashem for our breath but don’t Kosherize Bibi with anything remotely to Hashem.
The Medina is a Medinas Hashmad since it’s inception.
NOW:
Bibi is a despot and warmonger who seeks to stay in power by whining and then attacking. Whoever believes one word this Shaygetz says, is as delusional as he is.
He should be eradicated and not celebrated.
He’s placing gantz Klal Yisrael in danger with seeking wars for the last many years.
Where’s all you people senses???? He’s a murderer beyond words.
All Israeli victims are on his bloodstained hands.
