Middle East Meltdown: Netanyahu Confirms Direct Strike on Iran’s Nuclear Sites

In a major escalation in the already volatile Middle East, Israel has confirmed that it carried out a pre-emptive military strike on Iran. The operation, aimed at neutralizing what Israel sees as an existential threat, was announced by Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and confirmed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The strike reportedly targets Iran’s nuclear facilities, missile sites, and even key nuclear scientists.

State of Emergency Declared Across Israel

Following the attack, a nationwide emergency has been declared in Israel. Warning sirens were sounded across the country, as military intelligence indicates the possibility of Iranian retaliation through missile and drone strikes on civilian areas.

Explosions Rock Tehran: Iran Yet to Respond Officially

According to Iranian state media IRNA, loud explosions were heard near Tehran, especially around military zones. While the exact scale and locations of the strikes remain unclear, reports suggest panic in the vicinity of Iranian military bases. As of now, the Iranian government has not released an official statement detailing the damage or response plans.

Netanyahu’s Message: “This Is Not a One-Day Operation”

In a strongly worded video statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Operation Rising Lion will continue for as long as needed to eliminate the threat from Iran.

“This is not a fight of hours or days. This will continue until our objectives are achieved,” he declared.

Targeted Strikes on Iran’s Nuclear Program

Netanyahu revealed that Israeli forces have specifically targeted critical components of Iran’s nuclear weapons program, including:

  • The Natanz enrichment facility
  • Scientists working on Iran’s nuclear bomb
  • Centers involved in Iran’s ballistic missile development

He emphasized that these operations were crucial to prevent Iran from reaching nuclear weapon capability, which he warned could happen in less than a year, possibly even in a matter of months.

The Existential Threat to Israel

“This is a clear and present danger to the very existence of Israel,” Netanyahu said, reinforcing the justification for the military action. He accused Iran of making unprecedented progress toward developing nuclear weapons and warned that inaction would allow Iran to cross the red line soon.

What Happens Next? Countdown to Regional War?

Experts fear that Israel’s bold strike could spark a broader regional war, especially if Iran retaliates. With Gaza, Lebanon, and Yemen already in active conflict zones, the addition of Iran could ignite a multi-front war in the Middle East, with global consequences.
