The big picture:
During a press conference with Marco Rubio, Benjamin Netanyahu discussed a potential military attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. Despite receiving support from the U.S., Israel's threats towards Iran—whether through military aggression or psychological warfare—have consistently met with strong retaliatory responses from the Iranian nation and armed forces, especially during the two recent retaliations from Iran.
What they are saying:
Israeli resigned War Minister Yoav Gallant: "Iran’s advancements in missile technology are alarming and pose a significant challenge to our defense systems."
The Intelligence Minister Eli Cohen: "Iran's missile program is a clear and present danger to Israel."
Former War Minister Benny Gantz: "Iran's missile capabilities are advancing rapidly, and we must remain vigilant."
Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) Spokesperson. Brigadier General Ronen Manelis: "Iran's ballistic missiles are a game-changer in the region, and we must be prepared for any scenario."
IOF Intelligence Directorate: "Iran has made significant progress in its missile capabilities, and we must remain vigilant to counter any potential threats."
Brigadier General (Res.) Uzi Eilam, former head of Israel's Atomic Energy Commission: "The Iranian missile program is one of the most advanced in the region, and it poses a serious threat to Israel."
