Editorial illustration generated by baba News — not a photograph of the event.

During an interview with Fox News in the United States, President Isaac Herzog addressed the Iranian threat, stating, "It is forbidden for it to have any access to nuclear capabilities." He also spoke about the "great miracle" that occurred on a Flydubai flight. The President emphasized that Iran must not be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons, characterizing the nation as an "evil empire."

The President's remarks come amid ongoing concerns about Iran's nuclear program and its regional activities. Herzog's comments underscore Israel's position on the matter, highlighting the perceived danger posed by a nuclear-armed Iran.
