On Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared his government’s resolve to thwart Iran’s nuclear ambitions in a strong statement shared on X, previously known as Twitter. “We will not let the world’s most dangerous regime get the world’s most dangerous weapon,” Netanyahu asserted.
This statement emerged as Israeli airstrikes persistently target Iranian nuclear and military installations in and around Tehran, a move the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) describe as a strategic endeavor to dismantle Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and ballistic missile capabilities.
Netanyahu’s post generated a swift wave of reactions online, with some Iranian users expressing their support. One response read, “As an Iranian I want to thank you for the incredible hard and important task you’ve took on. From Cyrus the Great to Benjamin Netanyahu. What times to be alive.”
The Israeli government has characterized its operations in Iran as both defensive and proactive. Netanyahu’s remarks further highlight the conflict as not only a matter of national security but as a significant global concern.
