"ASSASSINATION OF HAMANEY WOULD END THE CONFLICT" Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held an online press conference for the first time since the start of the conflict between Israel and Iran. Netanyahu made statements regarding Israel's operations against Iran's nuclear and missile programs. He reported that 10 Iranian scientists have been killed in Israeli attacks so far, stating, "A few more are left, and we will reach them too." The Israeli Prime Minister said that a "very violent attack" was carried out on Iran's Natanz Nuclear Facility, destroying the factories where centrifuges are produced, and stated, "We will continue to systematically destroy nuclear targets."
"WE ARE ELIMINATING THEM ONE BY ONE" Referring to the attacks on Iran's military personnel, Netanyahu stated, "We have neutralized Iran's security personnel, including three senior military officials. We are eliminating them one by one." He mentioned the attacks on Iran's air force and air defense systems, saying, "Israel controls the skies over Tehran. We have opened an air route to Tehran." The Israeli Prime Minister stated that Israel is "simply eliminating" Iran's air defense network in the west and other regions, and that half of Iran's drone inventory and significant radar centers have also been destroyed. Netanyahu also mentioned that headquarters belonging to Iran, state television, and places that will be "heard soon" have been targeted. Referring to evacuations in Israel, the Israeli Prime Minister said, "We are evacuating the public; people are leaving the cities. We are on the path to victory. Iran is aware of this."
"ISRAEL CANNOT BE DECEIVED ABOUT IRAN'S INTENTIONS" Pointing to previous statements by Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, Netanyahu said, "Even while negotiating with the U.S., the 'dictator' Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was making statements that 'Israel will be destroyed.' Israel cannot be deceived about Iran's intentions." Stating that the attacks would have "significant consequences," Netanyahu emphasized that Israel is insistent on three points: Iran's nuclear program, ballistic missile production, and the elimination of the 'terror axis' until everything necessary is done, and that coordination with the U.S. is ongoing. Netanyahu stated, "Based on these results, the Iranian regime could fall," adding, "Iran has weakened, and Israel could change the face of the Middle East." The Israeli Prime Minister remarked, "There could be significant changes in Iran. No one predicted the collapse of the Soviet Union. Very few people predicted the fall of the Assad regime days in advance. I cannot predict the outcome of Israel's historic operation, but the fall of the Iranian regime could definitely be one of the outcomes."
In response to the question of how much damage has been done to Iran's nuclear program as a result of Israel's attacks, Netanyahu said, "You know, if you have a cancer that threatens you with death, you cut it out. You can try different treatments, but it may show itself again one day."Sure!

But I think we have largely rolled them back. We will not stop. We are really conducting a root canal treatment," he replied. Netanyahu stated, "The U.S. is helping us," mentioning that he speaks with U.S. President Donald Trump almost every day. Netanyahu said, "Trump will make the decision that is good for America. We will accept any assistance."
In response to the question of whether Israel can neutralize Iran's nuclear program without attacking the Fordo facility and without U.S. assistance, Netanyahu replied, "We are determined to eliminate the Iranian nuclear program, which is an existential threat. We are achieving this right now and we will not back down." Addressing the situation in Gaza, Netanyahu said, "We will not give up on our captives in Gaza. We will bring them all back. Fighting this Iranian-led axis also supports our goal." When asked about plans regarding the assassination of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, Netanyahu responded, "I will not go into the details of our war plans. We will do whatever is necessary. We are on the path to victory."
