The Israeli President Izchak Herzog founded the major attack in Iran with an existential threat to the Jewish people. Israel “started a targeted operation at night to neutralize an immediate and existential threat to our people,” said Herzog, according to his office.
“In the past few decades, the international community has seen the Iranian regime – at the head of a global terrorist empire – has increasingly radicalized and destabilized the region,” said Herzog. At the same time, Tehran is “tirelessly working to expand his military nuclear skills and to expand his arsenal in ballistic rockets”.
“”The Iranian leaders have their intention to destroy the state of Israel“Open and repeatedly expressed,” said Herzog. “For years, the regime has been preparing to implement this vision into reality.”
Israel therefore “has fundamental rights and the solemn duty to defend himself”. This will be done with determination. At the same time, Herzog expressed hope that this would steer the region in a more peaceful direction.
