Netanyahu
We have achieved tremendous accomplishments
We still have goals to complete. We will achieve them by agreement or by fighting.
The ceasefire was made in full coordination between the Americans and Israel. We were not surprised.
Iran gave up all its preconditions for the ceasefire agreement. Iran is weak.
The relations between me and President Trump are excellent.
We destroyed the missile production machine. They are firing what remains in their warehouses and are not producing new missiles.
We severely damaged Iran's nuclear program. We eliminated more nuclear scientists.
All the enriched material will be removed from Iran either by agreement or by fighting.
We destroyed Iran's money printing machine.
We destroyed the Iranian navy and the military bases of Iran.
We damaged the regime's protest suppression mechanism.
We eliminated senior regime officials.
We are creating new alliances in the region.
I insisted that the ceasefire agreement would not include Hezbollah.
Anyone who tries to belittle our achievements either does not know what they are talking about or does so for foreign considerations.
