JERUSALEM, June 14, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu threatened on Saturday to strike "every target of the ayatollah
regime" in Iran, adding that Israeli strikes had dealt a "real blow" to
Tehran's nuclear programme.
"We will hit every site, every target of the ayatollah regime," Netanyahu
said in a video statement on the second day of Israel's air campaign
targeting Iranian military and nuclear sites.
"We have dealt a real blow to their nuclear programme" since Friday, he
added.
"We have opened a path to Tehran. Very soon, you will see Israeli aircraft --
our air force, our pilots -- in the skies over Tehran," Netanyahu said,
shortly after Israel's military reported it had struck 40 targets in the
Iranian capital overnight, including missiles and advanced air defence
systems.
Israel on Friday launched an unprecedented attack on Iran, hitting more than
200 military and nuclear sites, military spokesman Effie Defrin said, killing
top army commanders, nuclear scientists and other senior officials.
"What they have felt so far is nothing compared to what they will feel under
the force of our arm in the coming days," Netanyahu said Saturday.
"We are acting with full force to eliminate this dual threat to the State of
Israel," he added, referring to Iran's nuclear programme and its ballistic
missile capabilities.
Iran said 78 people had been killed and 320 wounded in the first Israeli wave
of strikes.
Iran in return launched barrages of drones and missiles at Israel, killing
three people, injuring more than 70 others and causing damage in several
cities.
