According to Netanyahu, the individual was directly responsible for significant attacks and played a central role in the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a move that has major global economic and security implications.
Netanyahu emphasized that the operation is part of Israel’s ongoing campaign against the Iranian regime, adding that the strike reflects close coordination with the US. He stressed that both countries remain aligned in their shared objective of achieving the war’s goals and countering Iran’s regional aggression.
