Netanyahu Confirms Iran's Nuclear Ambitions, Vows to Prevent Bomb
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on September 10, 2026, that Iran is attempting to develop nuclear weapons, echoing recent statements by U.S. President Donald Trump. Speaking at the Western Wall in Jerusalem ahead of the Rosh Hashanah holiday, Netanyahu affirmed Trump's assertion, saying, "President Trump announced this evening that Iran is trying to arm itself again with nuclear weapons. That is correct."
Netanyahu elaborated that following Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities in Parchin and Shahrud, Tehran is pursuing new avenues to advance its military program. "After we destroyed its immediate capability to produce nuclear bombs, they are trying again," he declared.
The Prime Minister pledged that as long as he remains in office, Iran will not acquire nuclear weapons. "I pledge to you here, at the Western Wall, ahead of Rosh Hashanah: as long as I am Prime Minister, Iran will not have nuclear weapons," Netanyahu promised.
Beyond the nuclear issue, Netanyahu also addressed Israel's broader regional confrontations, noting that Israel continues to strike targets associated with the "Iranian axis" not only in Gaza but also in Lebanon, specifically mentioning operations in the Bofur and Ali Tahar mountain ranges.
