In his first public remarks since Israel’s attack on Iran overnight Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday stated that the operation was successful, while thanking Washington for backing Jerusalem.
“We severely damaged Iran’s defense capabilities and its ability to produce missiles aimed at us. The strike was precise and powerful, achieving all its objectives. I thank the United States for the close coordination and support,” the premier said, stressing that “major challenges still lie ahead of us.”
Netanyahu was speaking at a memorial ceremony at Mount Herzl military cemetery as Israel observed a national day of mourning for the victims of the Hamas-led massacre of Oct. 7, 2023.
