'Israeli' FM says military operation against Iran achieved its goals

'Israeli' Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said the recent military operation against Iran “achieved all its objectives,” adding that Tel Aviv’s opening strike significantly delayed Iran’s ability to retaliate.

Speaking after the 12-day escalation between the two sides, Sa’ar acknowledged what he described as “painful human losses” for 'Israel' but insisted the toll was much lower than expected.

He revealed that 'Israeli' officials were concerned about a potential preemptive strike from Iran, particularly amid reports that US bases in the region were being evacuated.

Sa’ar also issued a warning, stating that 'Israel' would respond with force if Iran attempts to acquire nuclear weapons. He reaffirmed Tel Aviv’s commitment to preventing Tehran from reaching that goal, saying, “no matter the cost.”
