Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that "President Trump announced this evening that Iran is trying to arm itself with nuclear weapons again, this is true. After we destroyed its immediate capability to produce nuclear bombs both in Parchin and in the Shahroud operation, they are trying again." In a statement at the Western Wall, he said, "I pledge to you here ahead of Rosh Hashanah: as long as I am prime minister, Iran will not have nuclear weapons. At the same time, we are striking the Iranian axis, not only in the Gaza Strip very hard, but also in Lebanon. We destroyed the Bofour Ridge and are now dealing with the Ali Tahar Ridge. More will come."
