“WE ARE WINNING”: Netanyahu Says Iran’s Nuclear and Missile Capabilities Crippled After Air Campaign

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared a major turning point in the ongoing conflict with Iran, stating that after nearly three weeks of sustained airstrikes, Tehran no longer has the ability to enrich uranium or produce ballistic missiles.

Speaking at a press conference, Netanyahu emphasized that the joint U.S.–Israeli air campaign has significantly weakened Iran’s strategic capabilities.

“After 20 days, I can tell you — Iran today has no ability to enrich uranium, and no ability to produce ballistic missiles,” he said, framing the operation as a decisive success.

A Campaign Targeting Iran’s Core Capabilities

The military operation, which began in late February, has focused heavily on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and missile production facilities. According to Israeli officials, the strikes aimed not only at existing weapons stockpiles but also at the industrial base that supports future development.

Netanyahu described the effort as systematic and ongoing, saying Israeli forces are “continuing to crush these capabilities” and dismantle the infrastructure behind Iran’s military programs.
