Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that he and U.S. President Donald Trump would not allow Iran to restore its nuclear or ballistic missile programmes.
Speaking in the Knesset, Netanyahu described Iran as “pulling the strings of terrorism in the Middle East and beyond” and reiterated Israel’s position that Tehran must have no uranium enrichment capability, remove all enriched uranium, and submit to permanent international monitoring.
“We will not allow them to restore their ballistic missile industry, and we will certainly not allow them to resume their nuclear programme, which we severely damaged during the operation — the 12-day war. Our common position on Iran remains unchanged: zero uranium enrichment capability, the removal of all enriched uranium from Iran, and strict and permanent monitoring of nuclear facilities.”
Netanyahu also expressed support for the ongoing protests in Iran, describing them as a “decisive moment” in which the Iranian people are taking control of their future, and warned Tehran that any attack on Israel would have “very serious consequences.” He added that Israel backed the U.S. actions against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, framing them as steps in support of freedom and progress.
The statements follow a meeting between Netanyahu and Trump in Florida last week, in which the leaders reaffirmed their shared stance on Iran. Concerns have grown in recent months over Iran’s missile stockpiles and nuclear activities, which Israel claims were damaged during the 12-day conflict with Israeli forces in June. The U.S. has maintained that Tehran’s nuclear programme should remain peaceful, while Trump has warned that any attempt to rebuild its military capabilities could trigger a swift response.
