In an interview with News, Benjamin Netanyahu stated that while the war with Iran has already achieved much, it is still not over. This marks his first U.S. television address since the conflict began. Netanyahu stressed that military forces may still need to be deployed.
"I think it has achieved a lot, but it is not over yet," Netanyahu told News Chief Correspondent Major Garrett. The Prime Minister pointed out that Iran still possesses enriched uranium that needs to be removed, though he did not provide details on potential actions.
"There are still enrichment sites that need to be dismantled. There are still proxies that Iran supports. There are ballistic missiles they still want to produce," Netanyahu added. "We have weakened much of that. But all of it is still there, and there is still work to be done."
When asked how these goals could be achieved, the Prime Minister responded with a laugh. "You go in and take it out," he said. "I will not talk about military means, but what Trump told me is: 'I want to go in.' And I think that can be done physically. That is not the problem."
Netanyahu explained that if an agreement is in place, one could simply go in and remove the uranium. "Why not? That is the best way."
The United States and Israel began attacks on Iran in February, which led to the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Trump initially provided varying estimates on the duration of the war, but once predicted that the conflict would last four to five weeks. The war is now in its sixth week, and Trump had promised to continue bombing the region until "peace in the entire Middle East and indeed in the world!" is achieved.
Meanwhile, the U.S. government has agreed to a ceasefire with Iran, and negotiations have stalled. However, Netanyahu refused to provide a timeline for the complete operation. "I will not give a timeline for that, but I will say that this is an extremely important mission," he concluded.
