Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Israel is nearing its objective of neutralizing Iran's ballistic missile and nuclear capabilities, signaling a decisive phase in the ongoing conflict.

Netanyahu emphasized that Israel will not be drawn into a prolonged war of attrition with Iran, stating, "We will not let Israel be dragged into a war of attrition", while also affirming that the campaign against Iran's nuclear program will continue until its goals are fully achieved.

He revealed that the U.S. recently deployed bunker-buster bombs to severely damage Iran's Fordow nuclear site, a critical facility in Iran's uranium enrichment efforts. However, he noted that the full extent of the damage is still being assessed.

Prior to Israel's initial strikes on June 13, Iran was enriching uranium to 60% purity, dangerously close to the 90% threshold considered bomb-grade material. This underscores the urgency behind Israel's military actions.

"Israel is very close to completing its goal of removing the dual threats of Iran's ballistic missiles and nuclear programme," Netanyahu said, highlighting the strategic importance of these operations.

The Prime Minister's statements reflect a balance between maintaining pressure on Iran's nuclear ambitions and avoiding an extended conflict that could drain Israeli resources and stability.

As the situation develops, the international community watches closely, given the potential regional and global implications of the conflict between Israel and Iran.
