- He added that Israeli and US forces are "continuing to crush" Iran's military capabilities and that Tehran has no capacity to enrich uranium or make ballistic missiles.
- Netanyahu also responded to social media claims that he had been killed or injured in an Iranian strike. “I’m alive and you’re all witnesses," he said.
