Tel aviv: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed Saturday to continue the war against Iran, claiming that Israel has "a plan full of surprises" to undermine the regime in Tehran. Netanyahu stated at a news conference that Israel is continuing the war against Iran with full force.
According to Anadolu Agency, Netanyahu emphasized that Israel has altered the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East as promised following the events of October 7, and has also undergone significant internal changes. He asserted that he had made bold decisions aimed at neutralizing Israel's adversaries.
On October 7, 2023, Hamas and Palestinian factions launched the Al-Aqsa Flood operation, targeting 11 Israeli military bases and 22 settlements. The operation was intended to end the blockade on the Gaza Strip and thwart Israeli plans to eliminate the Palestinian cause. In response, Tel Aviv initiated a devastating campaign against the Palestinian enclave that persisted for two years.
In October 2025, a ceasefire agreement was reached, but since its implementation, the Israeli army has continued violations through bombardment and gunfire. Since February 28, Israel and the United States have been conducting attacks on Iran, resulting in the deaths of hundreds, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and several security officials. Tehran has retaliated by launching missile and drone attacks against Israel.
Iran has also targeted American interests in Gulf countries and Jordan with missiles and drones. These attacks have caused fatalities and injuries, and damaged civilian facilities, prompting condemnation from the affected Arab countries, which have demanded an end to the hostilities.
Earlier on Saturday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian vowed to halt attacks on neighboring countries unless they launched attacks against Iran from their territories. However, strikes resumed against Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and Iraq.
