[Full video below.] Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu said Sunday that although Israel has made major advances against Iran and its regional network, the broader conflict remains unresolved and will continue until Tehran’s nuclear infrastructure and proxy forces are fully neutralized.

Speaking during a wide-ranging interview on CBS’s “60 Minutes,” Netanyahu stressed that key Iranian nuclear assets still remain in place despite recent military successes.

“I think it accomplished a great deal, but it’s not over, because there’s still nuclear material, enriched uranium that has to be taken out of Iran. There are still enrichment sites that have to be dismantled. There are still proxies that Iran supports.”

When asked how Israel or its allies could physically remove enriched uranium from Iranian territory, Netanyahu answered bluntly: “You go in, and you take it out.”

Although the prime minister declined to discuss operational details or possible future military coordination with the United States, he made clear that he and President Donald Trump remain aligned on preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.

“President Trump and I, that if necessary, we can reengage them militarily, if it’s necessary,” Netanyahu stated.

Netanyahu argued that Iran represents a uniquely dangerous threat because of what he described as the regime’s extremist ideology and hostility toward America and Israel.

“You don’t want a fanatic regime like that, that hates America… you don’t want them to have nuclear weapons. That’s what prompted President Trump and me to go out and stop them.”

The prime minister also addressed Israel’s ongoing military operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon, saying Israeli forces have significantly degraded the terror group’s missile capabilities.

According to Netanyahu, Israel has destroyed more than 90% of Hezbollah’s estimated stockpile of roughly 150,000 rockets and missiles, though he warned that thousands of projectiles still remain.

“Hezbollah is basically a proxy of Iran. Iran holds Lebanon. We have no quarrel with Lebanon,” Netanyahu explained.

He further claimed Hezbollah had been preparing an assault in northern Israel that would have exceeded the scale of Hamas’ October 7 massacre, which he said justified Israel’s efforts to establish a “security belt” to protect Galilee communities.

Netanyahu also described the Iranian regime as being in its weakest condition since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, citing economic deterioration, growing public dissatisfaction, and internal fractures within the government.

When asked whether the Islamic Republic could ultimately collapse, Netanyahu said such an outcome remains possible, though uncertain.

“I think that you can’t predict when that happen. Is it possible? Yes. Is it guaranteed? No. But I can tell you, it’s like bankruptcy, you know? It proceeds gradually, and then it falls.”

Despite ongoing security threats, Netanyahu expressed optimism regarding Israel’s strategic standing in the Middle East and its relationships with regional countries.

He argued that Israel has transformed itself from a nation facing existential danger into a dominant regional force and a reliable ally of the United States.

According to Netanyahu, Israel’s confrontation with Iran has also strengthened ties between Israel and several Arab nations.

“The fact that we face down this neighborhood bully that these this killer regime in Iran, that’s brought quite a few of the Arab countries closer together with Israel. That’s good for peace.”
