Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has issued a bold and unwavering warning against Iran’s nuclear ambitions, vowing that Israel will not hesitate to act if Tehran attempts to revive its programme.
His comments came just a day after both nations agreed to a temporary ceasefire following nearly two weeks of intense military exchange.
During a national address on Tuesday, Netanyahu reaffirmed Israel’s firm stance, stating, “Iran will not have a nuclear weapon.
We have already thwarted Iran’s nuclear project, and if anyone in Iran tries to rebuild it, we will act with the same determination and intensity to foil such attempt.”
The statement comes amid rising skepticism about the ceasefire’s sustainability, especially after both sides accused each other of early violations.
Tensions remain high in the region, and Netanyahu’s remarks appear to signal that Israel remains on high alert despite the ceasefire.
Meanwhile, Iran seems unshaken. Speaking on state TV, Mohammad Eslami, head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organisation, revealed that the country had already taken critical steps to ensure its nuclear operations remain uninterrupted.
This announcement was made in response to recent Israeli and American strikes on several nuclear-related sites in Iran.
“In response to recent attacks, we have activated measures that will ensure the continuation of our peaceful nuclear progress,” Eslami said.
His statement suggests that Iran is not backing down from its long-term nuclear goals, further fueling Israel’s concerns.
The Iran nuclear threat has long been a central issue in Israel’s foreign policy, with Netanyahu consistently warning the international community about Iran’s intentions.
However, Tuesday’s speech delivered a more direct and urgent tone, following the recent hostilities that saw both nations exchange missiles and warnings.
Though Monday’s ceasefire brought a temporary pause to the violence, the atmosphere remains fragile.
Global leaders had called for restraint, but early violations of the truce show how tense the situation remains.
