Amid surging regional frictions triggered by the breakdown of Washington-Tehran truce, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a stern warning to Iran, asserting that the “war is not over yet”, and confirming that Tel Aviv is preparing for all potential eventualities. He indicated that despite Tehran enduring notable reverses, fresh strategic hurdles are surfacing.

“Our policy is clear that Iran will not possess nuclear weapons, whether with or without an agreement. If we had not acted, Iran would have acquired nuclear weapons; the war is not over; new challenges are emerging,” Netanyahu said.
