The Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear sites is a decisive moment in Israel’s history, Netanyahu told the nation early in the morning

In a video statement posted on social media, Netanyahu said that the attack was struck at the heart of Iran’s nuclear program and will “continue for as many days as it takes”.

Iran is buying time because it does not agree with the basic requirement of peaceful nations. That is why we have no choice but to act and act now,” Netanyahu said.

Israel worried about the progress of Iran’s nuclear program. Netanyahu justified the attacks on the country in an address to the nation.

Parsi is a language It is based on what Trump is currently saying that he is attempting to take advantage of these strikes in order to get the Iranians to acquiesce in the negotiations in order to limit Iran’s nuclear program.

Sirens also sounded across Israel in the hours before dawn: an Israel military official told NPR the alarms were pre-emptive. Israel’s Defense Minister called for missiles and drones to be retaliated against in a state of emergency across the country.

There were multiple reports from Tehran that loud explosions had been heard in the northeast of the Iranian capital. Iranian state TV has reported that Israel has struck the Revolutionary Guards’ headquarters in Tehran, killing the Commander Hossein Salami. Iran’s armed forces wield significant political and military influence, thanks to the Revolutionary Guards.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel had targeted Iran’s main nuclear enrichment facility at Natanz. The chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency said his agency was in contact with Iranian officials to monitor their radiation levels.

“We are at a decisive moment in Israel’s history,” Netanyahu said early Friday, adding that the operation would “roll back the Iranian threat to Israel’s survival.”

Even if the US and Iran improve their relationship, the Israelis will not reduce their tension with Iran. “So the Israelis have, for more than 20 years, tried to sabotage any diplomacy between the United States and Iran.”

“After October 7th, we learned that we are not going to wait for our enemies to surprise us again,” Danon said. “That’s why we targeted the nuclear sites and also the industry of the ballistic missiles that Iran developed.”

Inskeep: I just want to make sure that I understand what you’re saying, though. You say that they had a program to build a nuclear weapon. Was Iran actually actively assembling a nuclear weapon, according to your intelligence?

Danon: No. Moreover, we have the intelligence that it wasn’t like a nuclear reactors for civil usage. It was a military program that was hidden from the international community. We couldn’t take the risk because we realized that they are playing the game and are very close to the point of no return. They sent more than 100 drones a few hours ago. We expect ballistic missiles to fly into Israel in the next few days. So we cannot wait for the day that they will actually be able to put the nuclear capability on those ballistic missiles that they have already.

A couple of weeks ago, Trump shifted his position and he no longer wanted to limit the program. He wants to essentially eliminate the program. That was nowhere to be found. He decided to allow Israelis to conduct these strikes in order to see if that will change the Iranians position or not.

Iranian state media says that Tehran will respond to the Israeli strikes. You and other analysts have suggested this actually makes it more likely that Iran will continue to pursue a nuclear program.

Parsi: Nuclear deterrence can only be strengthened by actually being attacked. And you have now several heads of the Atomic Energy Agency who have been warning that any attack on Iran will increase the likelihood that the Iranians will leave the Non-Proliferation Treaty and move towards a bomb. That risk is now very significant.

Is Iran a Threat to the Security of the Sun? Iran’s Nuclear Enrichment and Implications for the IAEA

Later Friday morning, Israel said it intercepted Iranian drones while Jordan said its air force blocked attacks aimed at Israel in Jordanian airspace. Jordan, Israel, Iran and Iraq closed their airspace to civilian traffic while other countries diverted or canceled flights.

The international nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, this week declared Iran in contravention of non-proliferation agreements aimed at halting the spread of nuclear weapons. Iran says its enrichment program is for peaceful purposes.
