After speaking with President Donald Trump on Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that his country will do whatever it takes to defend itself, regardless of any agreement the U.S. strikes with the terrorist Iranian regime.
Netanyahu detailed his conversation with Trump in a video posted on his X.com account. In it, he reports that Trump is confident that an acceptable agreement to achieve U.S. military objectives can be reached with Iran:
“Earlier today, I spoke with our friend President Trump. President Trump believes there is an opportunity to leverage the tremendous achievements we have attained with the U.S. military to realize the war objectives in the agreement—an agreement that will safeguard our vital interests.”
Nonetheless, Israel is continuing its successful strikes on both Iran and Lebanon – but, with its hand “outstretched” – Prime Minister Netanyahu says:
“At the same time, we continue to strike both in Iran and in Lebanon. We are crushing the missile program and the nuclear program, and continuing to inflict severe blows on Hezbollah. Just days ago, we eliminated two more nuclear scientists—and the hand is still outstretched.”
“We will safeguard our vital interests in any scenario,” Netanyahu vows.
