BREAKING: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said Israel could face a third confrontation with Iran if necessary, while reaffirming his government’s position on Tehran’s nuclear programme.
JERUSALEM, ISRAEL — Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, has said another military confrontation with Iran remains possible if circumstances require it. According to The Times of Israel, which cited an interview with Israel’s Channel 14, Netanyahu made the remarks while responding to questions about the possibility of renewed hostilities between the two countries.
According to the report, Netanyahu was asked during the Hebrew-language interview whether Israel could face another round of fighting with Iran following last year’s conflict and another confrontation earlier this year. He responded that his government would continue to act to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
Speaking during the interview, Netanyahu said, “As long as I am prime minister, Iran will not have nuclear weapons.” He maintained that Israel would continue to pursue policies aimed at preventing Tehran from developing nuclear weapons, according to The Times of Israel.
Relations between Israel and Iran have remained tense for years, with both countries accusing each other of actions that threaten regional security. The dispute over Iran’s nuclear programme has remained a major source of international concern, while several countries have continued diplomatic efforts aimed at reducing tensions in the Middle East.
The development means security analysts and international leaders will closely monitor relations between Israel and Iran in the coming months. Any further escalation could affect regional stability, diplomatic efforts and global energy markets, while the international community is expected to continue engaging both sides to reduce the risk of another military confrontation.
