Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday he was recently briefed on intelligence suggesting Iran is conducting field exercises in which its forces are practicing launching ballistic missiles at Israel.
“I said, if you dare do that, you know the results would be devastating. So I hope Iran doesn't make that mistake,” Netanyahu told Fox News.
Echoing President Trump’s review of US strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities in June, Netanyahu said the Fordow site had been “obliterated,” adding that Tehran is seeking to rebuild its missile capabilities and is considering resuming key nuclear activities.
“As far as the nuclear program, I think they're trying to do it. I'm not sure they've decided to cross the line because I think they heed President Trump's warnings, and also because they've just experienced something. You know, less than a year ago, they saw what it entails, and they have to choose. Look, we don't seek escalation. I hope they don't, but if they do, all bets are off,” Netanyahu said.
