Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks in a video address on June 24, 2025. (Screen capture/GPO) In a video statement on Tuesday summing up the war against Iran, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Israel “achieved a historic victory” that would “abide for generations” following the US-brokered ceasefire to end the 12-day conflict.
He said Israel removed “two existential threats — the threat of destruction via nuclear weapons and the threat of destruction via 20,000 ballistic missiles” that Iran was moving to build. Israel would have faced destruction in the near future “if we hadn’t acted now.”

I am sure they are hiring new scientists or trying to get some from China, NK or Russia.
Trump presser right now. Watching it on isbn. He’s slapping the press around in his moment go glory. Watch the replay if you can. It’s catnip-lol.
But the democrats said.it was a total failure!
Pete Hegseth is looking like POTUS material!
You've gotta be quick these days to keep up with all the visuals swirling around in a base of blueberry Ice Cream!

“””He said Israel removed “two existential threats — the threat of destruction via nuclear weapons “”
I didn’t see Israel taking out nuke facilities.
LOL Bibi is full of himself!
This is twice now Netanyahu has given himself credit over Trump’s efforts.
They’ll rebuild it if they really want to.
They still have the knowledge.
It’s all Kabuki War Theater. I think what Simplicius says makes a lot of sense, both in terms of the actual strike and Iran’s “retaliation” - see article here: https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/shayrat-redux-trumps-invisible-fleet . If this is the case, the more disturbing question then is, is this this just Trump bluster or is he being kept in the dark on the actual operation?
yes
they are offering a tremendous benefits package
the highlight is the free burial insurance
they will just wait until there is a dem appeaser in the oval office
hopefully there will be regime change before that happens
Bibi next week probably: “Iran is 2 weeks away from a nuclear weapon”
💯
In fairness, Israel did the lion’s share here for such a little country.
Operation Grim Beeper and the subsequent near-destruction of Hezbollah
Hamas destroyed
Syria softened for overflight
Total destruction of Iran’s air defenses
Assassination of Iran’s Command & Control
Targets greatly softened up
Nary a SAM launched at our boys.
Very much a full partner in the action.
Could they have done the coup de gras? Maybe, but it probably would have involved Israeli troops fighting their way into the facilities.
“Bibi next week probably: “Iran is 2 weeks away from a nuclear weapon””
Interestingly, the best evidence of destruction of Iran’s nuclear program is Israel not beating the drum that CNN provided saying the attacks were not successful.
If Bibi wanted more war, he’d embrace the CNN’s lie.
Estimates are that Iran has invested as much as 25% of it's GDP to nuclear weapons and missile/drone development and production to arm it's proxies in the Middle East.
This investment has been done over the last 35 years.
No doubt some of the Iranian defense infrastructure survives but most of the really expensive and capitol intensive infrastructure has been destroyed.
If Iran tries to rebuild it is going to take many years of 25% of GDP level investment to re build because Israel and the US have destroyed in a few months networks and stockpiles that took Iran 50 years to build.
One of the more significant parts of the Israeli plan was the destruction of most all of Iran's military aviation which is going to make it very hard for the Ayatollahs to suppress any uprisings.
Had it not been for Colin Powell's decision to allow Saddam Hussein to use his helicopters to ruthlessly suppress Iraqi unrest, Saddam would have been gone from Iraq in less than a year.
The Israelis are not making that mistake in Iran.
Everyone laughs at the air forces of third world dictatorships like North Korea that still fly Korean War era MiG 15s but they don't realize that the MiG 15 fighters are not there to protect the North Korean people from South Korean F-16s, they are there to protect Little Kim from the North Korean people.
If the Iranian people finally try to rise up against the Revolutionary Guards, the guards are now very poorly armed to resist and their leadership is seriously reduced.
