Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared Tuesday that his nation has fundamentally transformed the regional power dynamic with Iran through ongoing military operations, speaking during a televised address where he did not accept reporter questions.<\/p>

“We have enormous, tremendous achievements. There are also painful costs,” Netanyahu stated, referencing recent military losses. “Just yesterday we lost four of our finest sons. I extend condolences to the families. We all embrace the families and our wounded heroes, in body and spirit. We are one people.”<\/p>

The Prime Minister described how Israel’s military campaign has substantially diminished Iran’s influence across the Middle East and damaged its military strength. “We are systematically crushing the Iranian regime,” Netanyahu declared, explaining that Tehran had previously aimed “to annihilate us and take control of the Middle East.”<\/p>

According to Netanyahu, Iran had poured approximately $1 trillion into its military objectives across the region. “That trillion has gone down the drain,” he stated, claiming Israel had struck “10 blows to the axis of evil” throughout what he characterized as the “war of resurgence.”<\/p>

“The campaign is not yet over, but against the 10 blows our enemies have absorbed, we have achieved 10 tremendous accomplishments,” Netanyahu continued. “We have created a strategic reversal. Before the two operations, Iran sought to choke us\u2014today we are choking them. Their regime is weaker than ever.”<\/p>

The Israeli leader mentioned ongoing coordination with the United States and suggested potential diplomatic breakthroughs ahead. “We have created conditions for expanding alliances and the circle of peace. I hope that soon I will be able to tell the citizens of Israel about our new alliances.”<\/p>

Netanyahu emphasized that Israel has weakened fundamental terrorist infrastructure in the region. “We have undermined the foundations of the terror regime,” he said. “We have shaken the regime, and I say that sooner or later \u2014 the regime will fall.”<\/p>

“It is true, they still have the ability to threaten us\u2014but they can no longer threaten our existence,” he added, speaking about Iran and its allied groups throughout the region.<\/p>

The Prime Minister noted that Israel has created security buffer zones outside its borders in Gaza, Syria, and Lebanon, while expressing gratitude to citizens and military personnel. “Israel has become a regional power, and in certain areas, even a global power,” Netanyahu concluded.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
