- In a Fox News interview, Netanyahu argued Iran’s new underground bunkers would make its nuclear and missile programs “immune within months,” justifying immediate action.
- He thanked President Trump for joining the operation, rejected assertions he dragged the U.S. into war, and predicted a swift campaign rather than an “endless war.”
- The Israeli Air Force reported multiple strike waves over western Iran targeting missile launchers and defenses, while the IAEA chief said there is no indication declared nuclear sites were struck.
