Benjamin Netanyahu reveals Israel is ‘very close' to eliminating Iran nuclear threat after US strike
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed Israel is 'very close' to dismantling Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities.
Speaking at a press conference on Sunday (local time), Mr Netanyahu said Israel is 'moving step by step towards achieving these goals'.
'We won't pursue our actions beyond what is needed to achieve them, but we also won't finish too soon,' he said.
'When the objectives are achieved, then the operation is complete and the fighting will stop.'
'I have no doubt that this is a regime that wants to wipe us out, and that's why we embarked on this operation to eliminate the two concrete threats to our existence: the nuclear threat, the ballistic missile threat.'
Mr Netanyahu also asserted that the US strikes caused substantial damage to Iran's Fordow nuclear facility, a heavily fortified underground uranium enrichment site.

How Trump obliterated the best-laid plans of world's most powerful military alliance
London: NATO wanted this week's summit to be relatively boring. A controversy-free meeting, a bland communique, and a polished photo op to show unity. What it's getting instead is a flashpoint – one lit by the United States itself. Just days before 32 NATO leaders descend on the Dutch capital, the world's most powerful military alliance is watching its agenda be torched by a fresh theatre of war: Iran. And not just Israeli warplanes this time, but American ones, too. In a stunning military escalation, US forces joined Israel in bombing Iran 's most fortified nuclear sites, including the Fordow enrichment facility buried deep under a mountainside. GBU-57 'bunker-busting' bombs – some of the heaviest non-nuclear ordnance in the American arsenal – were used to punch through rock and concrete. Other strikes hit Natanz and Isfahan. Trump's message was blunt: 'Obliterated.' And just like that, the fragile choreography of what might have been NATO's most consequential summit in its 76-year history – carefully designed to hide its internal fractures – has been blown off course. The summit was never supposed to be about Iran. Or even Ukraine, for that matter. Loading To keep US President Donald Trump happy – and at the table – NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte stripped the agenda down to its bare bones. Gone was any serious discussion on Russia's war in Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been downgraded to dinner guest, rather than council participant. The alliance's evolving strategy on Russia? Hidden in a drawer. Instead, the headline act was supposed to be a carefully pre-cooked pledge from European allies: more defence spending, more kit, more readiness. Trump demands 5 per cent of GDP. Rutte's trying to sell a compromise – 3.5 per cent for core defence, another 1.5 per cent for 'infrastructure' and cybersecurity.

Trump's rap sheet is long, but this may be his worst crime
Although few bother to point it out, Donald Trump has just committed a crime much worse than all the others on his rap sheet. It is the war crime of aggression – the 'supreme' war crime according to the judgment at Nuremberg. It is constituted by using armed force against a fellow United Nations member with such 'character, gravity and scale' that it manifestly violates the UN Charter prohibition on one member country attacking another. A 'spectacular military success' the bunker bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities may have been, but it was, as a matter of international law, no different from Russian President Vladimir Putin's attack on Ukraine or the George W. Bush/Tony Blair/John Howard invasion of Iraq. These are all cases of a fundamental breach of the world order agreed after the last war and likely to encourage emulation – next stop, Taiwan. This is not about saving Iran, or the danger of making Putin look better. If any government in the world deserves to be destroyed, it is the mullahs without mercy in Iran. Many of them were involved in the mass slaughter of political prisoners in 1988 – the worst crime against helpless POWs since the Japanese death marches – and ever since, their record of killing peaceful protesters, women and dissidents, by hanging and shooting, has been disgusting. Iran has bankrolled terrorist organisations and waged propaganda wars against the Big (US) and Little (UK) Satan, but it has not invaded Israel or done anything to America to justify its aggression. Were some hypothetical war crimes court ever to get its hands on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, it would reduce his sentence by taking Iranian provocation into account – but the man would still be guilty as charged. He could not argue self-defence, which requires the threat defended against to be reasonably proximate. The threat of Iran building and using nukes is much further away than the threat of Israeli submarines, said to be already stationed within range of Tehran, rising to strike. It is not even clear that Iran is close to building a nuclear weapon – several dozen countries also signatory to the nuclear weapons treaty by which they forswear any such development could build nukes within a few months. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has not blown the whistle in any definitive way, as claimed by the Australian government and nor has the UK or our European allies. And just like Saddam's mythical 'weapons of mass destruction' there is no reason to think Iran has completed a project that was, in fact, first started under the Shah in the 1970s. Only last week, in the tone of an American gangster, Trump said in effect to the Ayatollah, 'we know where you live', but he promised the cleric he would be safe 'for now' and gave him two weeks. He bombed three days later. (And this is a man on whose word Australia has just made a massive down payment for AUKUS!) The true disaster of Trump's attack is that it is another nail in the coffin of the rules-based world order that provided some protection for international peace and security since it was put in place in 1945.
