Netanyahu: In Israel’s retaliation we hit an element of Iran’s nuclear program

His attack – response to October struck a component of the Islamic Republic’s nuclear programme, however, according to the Israeli Prime Minister, Tehran’s course to build a nuclear weapon is still open. Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday night (18.11.2024) that Israel’s attack in response to Iran’s attack last month lowered Tehran’s defense capabilities and missile production capabilities and also hit a component of its nuclear program. “This is not a secret,” Netanyahu said in a speech to parliament. “There is a specific component to their nuclear program that was hit in this attack,” he added. However, Netanyahu stressed that Iran’s march towards the construction of a nuclear weapon has not been blocked.
