Netanyahu: Iran’s Nuclear Program Like a “Cancer,” Vows Israel Will “Cut It Out” with U.S. Support

“They Want Death”: Netanyahu Rejects Iran’s Peace Overtures

Netanyahu dismissed Iran’s recent gestures toward diplomacy, saying they were merely tactics to buy time for rebuilding what he called Iran’s “weapons of death.”

“Even while negotiating with the U.S., Iran’s Supreme Leader tweeted that Israel must be destroyed,” Netanyahu said. “We’re not falling for it again.” He made it clear that Israel’s goals are threefold: to end Iran’s nuclear capabilities, halt its ballistic missile development, and dismantle the so-called “axis of terror” that Iran sponsors across the region.

U.S. Support Unshaken, Netanyahu Says

The Israeli leader praised U.S. President Donald Trump’s continued support, stating, “I speak to President Trump almost daily.” While acknowledging that the U.S. will act in its own interest, Netanyahu said Israel is acting out of necessity: “This is an existential threat. We are doing what we must do.”

Netanyahu credited Trump with taking bold action in the past, notably withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal and ordering the killing of Qasem Soleimani. “He tore up the fake agreement and made it clear: No uranium enrichment, no nukes,” Netanyahu stated.

Israel’s Secret Operation: “Rising Lion”

The ongoing Israeli air campaign, dubbed Operation Rising Lion, began with surprise strikes on June 12 targeting Iran’s nuclear sites, missile depots, and military command centers. According to Israeli and Iranian reports, at least 224 Iranians have been killed and over 1,200 wounded so far.

Netanyahu called it “one of the greatest military operations in history,” claiming it has set Iran’s nuclear program back “a very, very long time.”

Dual Existential Threats: Nukes and Missiles

Netanyahu warned that Iran is rushing to build atomic bombs and exponentially increase its missile production. “Within three years, they’ll have 10,000 missiles. In 26 years, 20,000,” he said.

“No country can withstand that especially not one the size of Israel.”

He described this dual threat nuclear and ballistic as intolerable. “When cancer threatens your life, you cut it out. That’s what we’re doing,” he declared.

Iran Retaliates with Ballistic Missiles

In response to Israeli strikes, Iran launched a barrage of ballistic missiles, hitting multiple Israeli cities. Although Israel’s missile defense systems intercepted most of them, 24 Israelis were killed and 592 wounded.

The escalation marks one of the most dangerous chapters in Middle East tensions, and fears of a broader regional war are now rising.

Assassination Plots: Iran Tried to Kill Trump, Netanyahu Claims

In a bombshell revelation, Netanyahu told Fox News that Iran attempted to assassinate President Trump twice during his campaign last year. “Through proxies, yes. Through intelligence, yes. They want to kill him,” he claimed.

Netanyahu described Trump as Iran’s “enemy number one,” citing his hardline stance against the Islamic Republic. “He doesn’t bargain from weakness. That’s why they fear him,” he said.

Netanyahu Also Targeted by Iranian Missiles

Netanyahu revealed that Iran had also targeted him personally, stating that a missile struck his bedroom window. “This is personal. It’s not just about Israel anymore it’s about global security,” he said.

He likened the situation to defending civilization itself: “We are not just defending Israel. We are defending the world from a nuclear Iran.”

“This Is Good vs Evil”: Netanyahu’s Global Plea

Framing the conflict in moral terms, Netanyahu urged other nations to stand with Israel in the fight against what he termed “radical tyranny.” “This is evil against good. It’s a battle for the future of the civilized world,” he said. “Appeasement has failed. Now is the time for courage.”

Netanyahu to Iranians: “We Are Not Your Enemy”

In a rare appeal to the Iranian people, Netanyahu used a broadcast on Iran International to separate Iran’s citizens from its rulers. “You’re not our enemy. We’re not your enemy. We are fighting a common enemy,” he said.

He encouraged Iranians to rise up against what he called “theological thuggery” and assured them that their day of freedom would come. “A light has been lit carry it to freedom,” he urged.

Regime Collapse? “This Could Be a Historic Moment”

Citing examples like the Soviet Union’s fall and the collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s grip on Syria, Netanyahu hinted that Iran’s regime could soon crumble.

“The regime is weak. Millions of Iranians are watching, and they are filled with hope,” he said. “I cannot predict the final outcome, but the fall of the Iranian regime could certainly be the result.”

Conclusion: A Fractured Region on the Brink

As explosions continue to rock Tehran and missiles rain down on Israeli cities, the Israel-Iran conflict teeters on the edge of regional war. Netanyahu’s firm alliance with Trump, his warnings of nuclear doom, and his moral framing of the battle have set the tone for what may become a pivotal chapter in modern Middle Eastern history.

The world watches closely. With Operation Rising Lion in full swing, Netanyahu’s message is unmistakable: “We are on the path to victory and we will do what we must.”
