Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu toured the site of a recent missile impact in Arad, where he sharply accused Iran of intensifying attacks on civilian areas and cautioned that the danger now reaches far beyond Israel’s borders.

Standing at the location of the strike, Netanyahu said the events of the past two days have made clear that Iran represents a global threat. He pointed to the missile that hit a residential area, describing it as a deliberate attempt to inflict mass casualties, and noted that the absence of fatalities was purely incidental.

He also referenced additional developments, including reported strikes near religious locations in Jerusalem and a long-range missile launch, which he said demonstrates Iran’s expanding operational range and its ability to threaten regions far outside the Middle East.

“Iran is putting everyone in its sights,” Netanyahu said, adding that its actions against international shipping routes further demonstrate an effort to destabilize global security and exert pressure on the international community.

Netanyahu emphasized that Israel is coordinating closely with the United States under Donald Trump to counter what he described as a “terrorist regime,” and urged other nations to take a more assertive stance in confronting the threat.

Discussing Israel’s military response, he said the IDF is operating “with great force,” while making clear that its targets are regime elements rather than civilians. He explained that operations are directed at Iran’s leadership, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, as well as key infrastructure, strategic facilities, and financial assets tied to the regime.

The prime minister outlined two central goals guiding the campaign: eliminating Iran’s nuclear and missile capabilities, and fostering conditions that could allow the Iranian public to challenge the current leadership.

When asked about possible joint action with the United States in future operations, particularly in light of Trump’s comments regarding potential steps if shipping lanes remain obstructed, Netanyahu declined to elaborate on specifics but underscored the close coordination between the two countries.

“We act together, and as much as possible, we do so discreetly,” he said.
