On Hezbollah, Netanyahu said Hezbollah has been significantly degraded, noting that Israel destroyed much of its missile capacity and established a security corridor along the border.By Vered Weiss, World Israel NewsIn the question-and-answer session, Netanyahu said Israel’s campaign has already stripped Iran of its ability to produce key strategic weapons, stating that “after 20 days… Iran does not have the opportunity to enrich uranium and it does not have the opportunity to create ballistic missiles.”He said Israel is continuing efforts to “decimate the ballistic missile program” and “decimate the nuclear program,” describing both objectives as achievable while declining to set “a schedule or a stopwatch” for their completion.Netanyahu rejected claims that Israel had drawn the United States into the conflict, calling such assertions “ridiculous,” and stressed that President Trump makes his own decisions even as the two countries operate in close coordination.Addressing the strike on Iranian gas facilities, Netanyahu said Israel acted independently and that Trump later asked Israel to hold off on further such attacks.On the stability of the Iranian regime, he pointed to signs of internal strain, including contradictory decisions and competition within the leadership, but said it was too early to predict whether the regime would collapse. Even if it survives, he said, it would emerge “a lot weaker,” having lost key capabilities and infrastructure.Netanyahu also dismissed concerns that targeting senior Iranian figures would strengthen harder-line elements, arguing that Khamenei’s authority “is not going to be translated to anyone else” and that sustained pressure is exposing vulnerabilities within the system. He said Israel is observing “cracks” both at the leadership level and among operational units, including fear within missile forces.On Hezbollah, Netanyahu said the group has been significantly degraded, noting that Israel destroyed much of its missile capacity and established a security corridor along the border. He added that Israel’s primary focus remains on Iran.Turning to the question of political change in Tehran, Netanyahu said it was too early to determine who might lead a transition, though he described exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi as “a force for good” working toward a democratic or moderate alternative. He reiterated that Israel can create conditions for change, but “in the final account” it depends on the Iranian people.He also addressed concerns about the burden on US allies, rising energy costs and American casualties, saying he had not misled Washington, expressing sympathy for bereaved families and warning that the risks of inaction would be far greater than the current costs.The post In a press conference, Netanyahu announces Iran can no longer enrich uranium or produce ballistic missiles appeared first on World Israel News.
