JERUSALEM, April 11, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday that the joint US-Israeli campaign against Iran had succeeded in "crushing" the Islamic republic's nuclear and ballistic missile programmes.

"We have succeeded in crushing the nuclear programme, and crushing the missile programme," Netanyahu said in a televised statement, adding that the war against Tehran had also weakened Iran's leadership and its regional allies.

"They wanted to strangle us, and (now) we are strangling them. They threatened us with annihilation, and now they are fighting for survival."
