Overview
- Netanyahu, in a pre-recorded address Tuesday evening before Passover, said Iran can no longer threaten Israel’s existence.
- He said Israel acted with U.S. coordination to hit Iran’s nuclear work, missile production, and allied armed groups that fight on Tehran’s behalf.
- He framed the campaign as “10 blows” against an “axis of evil,” citing actions against Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, militants in the West Bank, Houthis in Yemen, and strikes inside Iran.
- He said Iran’s leadership was shaken and its long-term military buildup was weakened, while adding that operations will continue.
- Fighting has stretched into a fifth week across several fronts, and Israel reported the deaths of four soldiers in southern Lebanon a day before his remarks.
