Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has delivered one of his strongest statements yet on Israel's security strategy, warning that the country is prepared to strike Iran again if it believes a new nuclear threat is emerging. Netanyahu declared that Iran will never be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons under his watch. He said Israel would not hesitate to launch a "third" military operation against Tehran if necessary, insisting that the country's campaign against Iran is "far from over." The Israeli leader also vowed to continue targeting what he described as the "Iranian axis," saying the struggle "never ends" and promising that Israel would keep acting until the threat posed by Iran and its regional allies is eliminated. Bibi also made headlines by calling for an end to US financial assistance for Israel. Describing American aid as a form of "welfare," he argued that Israel has reached a stage where it can finance its own defence and national priorities. He said he wants the transition away from US assistance to begin this year, emphasizing greater economic and strategic self-reliance. WATCH

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held his first press conference after viral rumours about his death, opening with a strong message: “I am alive.” But the real headlines came from his explosive claims on the Iran war. Netanyahu said Iran can no longer enrich uranium or build ballistic missiles, calling the regime “decimated” after joint strikes. He also predicted that the war could end much faster than expected.
