Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared on Thursday that the United States and Israel are decimating the Iranian regime in their joint military campaign that began on Feb. 28.
“Obviously, our number one effort is geared towards Iran, but if the regime goes, you know that Hezbollah goes,” the prime minister told JNS at a live press conference.
“Israel has never been stronger and Iran has never been weaker,” Netanyahu told a press conference in Jerusalem related live to Israeli and foreign media on the 20th day of the war. “We are winning and Iran is being decimated. Iran’s missile and drone arsenal is being massively degraded and will be destroyed. Hundreds of their launchers have been destroyed. Their stockpiles of missiles are being hit hard and so are the industries that produce them.”
In response to a question from JNS, Netanyahu said Israel had accomplished a great deal in its battle against Hezbollah, but declined to give details about the IDF’s ground incursion into Lebanon.
