Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said military operations against Tehran will continue until “the Iranian terrorist regime is destroyed.”
“The campaign is not over yet. We will continue until we destroy the terrorist regime,” Netanyahu said in a televised speech.
His remarks came shortly after Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian announced a “necessary will” in his country to end the war with Israel and the United States, provided Tehran received guarantees that the attacks would not be repeated.
“We had to act, and we did,” Netanyahu said in a speech on the eve of the Jewish holiday of Passover.
Netanyahu emphasised that despite the continuation of the war, Israel has become a “regional power,” saying, “We remain adamant in advancing our goals and have changed the face of the Middle East.”
