Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated in an interview with Fox News that Iran's nuclear ambitions pose a threat not only to Israel but also to the United States and Europe. He praised U.S. President Donald Trump's resolve in confronting the Iranian regime, calling him "brilliant."
Netanyahu described Iran's proxies, including Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis, as "arms of this poisonous octopus" controlled by the ayatollahs, distinguishing them from the Iranian people whom he called "wonderful."
He warned that Iran is developing intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the U.S. and intends to equip them with nuclear warheads, which would hold American cities hostage. "The only way is to get rid of this regime," Netanyahu asserted, emphasizing that dealing with the regime requires a combination of military and economic measures.
Recalling a meeting with Trump before the U.S. presidential election, Netanyahu noted Trump's early concern about Iran obtaining nuclear weapons. He characterized Iran as a unique nuclear power threat due to its leadership's extreme fanaticism, which he believes makes them disregard conventional cost-benefit analyses. Netanyahu expressed skepticism about the possibility of a stable agreement with Tehran, stating, "You can't convince them. You can't buy them with money. And no agreement lasts more than two seconds, because there is one thing they do consistently and reliably: they lie."
Regarding his relationship with Trump, Netanyahu said their cooperation is based on years of acquaintance and a shared understanding of security challenges, noting that their interests often align. He also defended Israel's conduct during the war against Hamas in Gaza, highlighting extensive measures taken by the IDF to warn civilians, such as distributing millions of leaflets, making phone calls, and sending text messages. Netanyahu accused Hamas of using residential areas and hospitals for military purposes and preventing residents from leaving combat zones, which he claims leads to civilian casualties and unfair blame on Israel.
