Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that Israel has halted its strikes on Iran “for now,” while warning that any renewed attacks would trigger a forceful response against both Iran and Hezbollah.

Axar.az reports, citing Times of Israel, in a video statement, Netanyahu said, “After Iran attacked Israel” in support of Hezbollah following Israel’s retaliatory strikes on the group in Beirut, “I directed the IDF to strike military and economic targets throughout Iran.”

He added, “At present, the fire on this front has been halted, because after the terrorist regime in Tehran was struck, it stopped attacking us,” while warning, “if that terrorist regime makes the mistake of attacking us again, we will respond with force.”

Netanyahu said the situation remains unstable, stating: “Today, Iran and Hezbollah are weaker than ever, and we are stronger than ever. But our struggle against them is not yet over.”

He also confirmed continued military operations in Lebanon, saying the army would work to “destroy all of [Hezbollah’s] terrorist infrastructure in the security zone, including massive underground facilities in the Beaufort Ridge.”

Rejecting what he described as coordinated pressure from Tehran and Hezbollah, Netanyahu said, “Over the past day, Iran and Hezbollah tried to impose a new equation on us. That equation is intolerable and completely unacceptable to me. They thought they could launch attacks from Lebanon and Iran against Israel and that we would not act. That did not happen, and it will not happen. Not on my watch.”

He said he had communicated Israel’s position to U.S. President Donald Trump, adding, “Israel has every right to self-defense, and we will exercise that right whenever necessary. I say this to you, dear citizens of Israel, just as I say it in my good conversations with my friend President Trump.”

Netanyahu did not take questions from reporters and has not held a press conference for the Israeli media in about three months.
