(Prime Minister's Office) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday: "In the 12 days of Operation Rising Lion, we achieved a historic victory, which will stand for generations. We removed two existential threats: The threat of annihilation by nuclear weapons and the threat of annihilation by 20,000 ballistic missiles. Had we not acted now, the State of Israel would have soon faced the danger of annihilation." "We destroyed the main enrichment facility in Natanz, the uranium conversion plant in Isfahan and the heavy water installation in Arak. Our friend, President Trump, stood alongside us in an unprecedented manner. On his order, the U.S. military destroyed the enrichment facility deep underground at Fordo." "We sent Iran's nuclear project to oblivion. And if anyone in Iran tries to rebuild this project - we will act with the same determination and the same force to cut off any such attempt....This is a moment of national pride, a moment of unity, a moment when every citizen in Israel can stand proudly and say: Together we did the unimaginable. The nation rose as a lion."
