Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu said Monday that Israel’s ongoing campaign against Iran is continuing to escalate, highlighting what he described as a major strike on Iran’s economic infrastructure and emphasizing close coordination with the United States.

Speaking about recent developments, Netanyahu revealed that Israel had targeted a key Iranian petrochemical site, describing it as a significant blow to the financial backbone supporting terror activity across the region.

He also detailed his latest conversation with President Donald Trump, noting the cooperation between the two countries. “Yesterday, I spoke again with my friend, President Trump. I expressed our immense appreciation for the heroic rescue operation of that American aircrew member, and President Trump, for his part, thanked me for the assistance Israel provided in this mission,” Netanyahu said.

Netanyahu added that Trump spoke highly of Israel’s role in the joint effort. “In general, he spoke of us in superlatives. He said: ‘You guys are great.’ He views Israel as a steadfast, determined, and firm ally that fights shoulder-to-shoulder alongside the United States, and together, we are continuing to crush Iran’s regime of terror,” he added.

Turning to the military campaign itself, Netanyahu said Israel is systematically targeting Iran’s sources of funding and leadership. He stated: “Today, we destroyed the largest petrochemical plant in Iran. This means we are systematically dismantling the IRGC’s money machine. We are destroying factories, eliminating operatives, and yes, we are continuing to eliminate senior officials.”

He concluded by contrasting Israel’s current strength with Iran’s weakening position, attributing Israel’s success to both spiritual and military factors. “Iran is no longer the same Iran, and Israel is no longer the same Israel. Israel is stronger than ever, and the terrorist regime in Iran is weaker than ever. And what is the key? What is the secret? Faith and power. We have both in abundance,” Netanyahu concluded.
