Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Iran has spent nearly a trillion dollars over the years on missiles, terror proxies, and efforts to destroy Israel — and that investment has now been effectively wiped out.
In his remarks, Netanyahu emphasized that Israel’s ongoing campaign, together with the US, has inflicted massive damage on Iran’s missile systems, nuclear program, and regional terror network. He framed the moment as a historic turning point, saying the regime that once threatened to “strangle Israel” is now itself being weakened dramatically.
Recent statements from Netanyahu reinforce this message — that Iran’s decades-long military buildup has “gone down the drain” and that the regime is now more vulnerable than ever.
He has also hinted that the pressure being applied could eventually lead to internal collapse, noting that the regime has been “shaken” and could fall sooner or later.
