Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Wednesday that Iran is once again attempting to develop nuclear weapons, referring to them as "death bombs." He made these remarks at a cadet course completion ceremony at Bahad 1. Netanyahu asserted that the only way to permanently remove this threat is to overthrow the Iranian regime, a directive he has given to the IDF, Mossad, and security forces. He also mentioned that U.S. President Donald Trump shares this view, quoting Trump as saying the U.S. is ready to finish the job with Israel.
Netanyahu's speech was not broadcast live due to a directive from Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, who cited concerns about "prohibited election propaganda" given the proximity to elections. The IDF spokesperson's unit confirmed that the live broadcast was canceled based on the deputy attorney general's guidance.
Defense Minister Israel Katz also addressed the ceremony, wishing Netanyahu a happy birthday and thanking him for his work. Katz warned that Iran and its proxies are attempting to carry out attacks that could influence the upcoming Israeli elections. He stated that the Iranian regime is at its weakest point, which could lead it to take extreme actions against Israel. Katz sent a clear message to Iran: "We see your attempts, we are prepared to thwart them and ready to strike you with full force. If Iran attacks Israel, Iran will burn."
Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir spoke about the shared mission of defending Israel, emphasizing that unity is crucial for the IDF's strength. He encouraged the newly commissioned officers to lead their soldiers with courage and wisdom, reminding them of what and whom they are fighting for.
