Netanyahu Says Israel ‘Crushing Iran Regime’ in Coordination with U.S., Highlights Major Strikes on Infrastructure.
Tel Aviv:
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel is intensifying its military campaign against Iran, working in close coordination with the United States to weaken what he described as a “terrorist regime.”
Speaking during a security assessment at the Kirya military headquarters in Tel Aviv, Netanyahu said Israeli operations—conducted alongside American support—are targeting key elements of Iran’s military and economic infrastructure. He emphasized that Israeli forces are eliminating senior commanders and striking strategic assets, including transportation networks and production facilities.
Netanyahu claimed that in recent days, the Israeli Air Force has destroyed approximately 70% of Iran’s steel production capacity, calling it a “tremendous achievement.” According to him, the strikes significantly undermine the financial and industrial capabilities of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), limiting its ability to fund operations and manufacture weapons.
The Prime Minister underscored the level of coordination between himself and U.S. President Donald J. Trump, as well as between the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the U.S. military. He stated that both nations are committed to continuing joint efforts to weaken Iran’s capabilities.
“This regime is weaker than ever—Israel is stronger than ever,” Netanyahu declared.
Addressing the situation in Lebanon, Netanyahu said Israeli forces are also continuing operations against Hezbollah. He noted that Israel is expanding and reinforcing a security zone along its northern border to ensure the safety of Israeli communities.
Netanyahu also commended Israeli citizens for adhering to safety guidelines issued by the Home Front Command, even during significant cultural and religious observances such as Passover. He urged the public to remain vigilant and continue following instructions amid ongoing tensions.
Concluding his remarks, Netanyahu expressed confidence in Israel’s military objectives, stating that with determination and continued effort, the country will achieve its strategic goals. He also extended Passover greetings to the nation.
The statement comes amid escalating regional tensions, with military activity intensifying across multiple fronts and global attention focused on developments in the Middle East.
