Systematically crushing Iran, forging alliances with important countries in West Asia: Netanyahu

Netanyahu claims Israel is systematically weakening Iran while forging new regional alliances, emphasizing significant achievements against Tehran's regime.

Lauding "enormous accomplishments" in the war against Iran, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday (March 31, 2206) evening that the joint Israel-U.S. campaign was "systematically crushing" the Islamic regime while removing existential threats to the Jewish state.

Addressing the nation in Hebrew ahead of the Jewish festival of Pesach (Passover), Mr. Netanyahu stressed that “sooner or later” the Iranian regime will fall, while Israel creates “new alliances with important countries in the region” against the shared threat emanating from Tehran.

The Israel Prime Minister did not mention any country but in the passing simply said he hopes that “soon, I will be able to tell you more about these vital alliances”.

"On the eve of this Festival of Freedom, Israel is stronger than ever. The entire world hears our lion’s roar in our struggle against the evil regime in Iran, a struggle in which we have achieved immense, enormous accomplishments", Mr. Netanyahu said.

The address came at a time when the nation is mourning the deaths of four soldiers in the ground operation in Lebanon. He expressed condolences saying that these achievements also come with "painful costs".
