Khaberni - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that there are military solutions led by the United States to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, without delving into its details, pointing out the existence of "interesting" ideas for the post-war stage relating to the diversion of energy and oil pipelines from the Gulf to Mediterranean ports.
In remarks to Newsmax, he clarified that the Strait of Hormuz represents a "geographical choke point," as he described it, emphasizing the possibility of bypassing it in a way that secures a long-term interest and allows free flow of oil and gas.
Netanyahu said that Israel has weakened the Iranian missile capabilities and manufacturing capacities, and has destroyed factories he described as "lethal," alongside the destruction of several centrifuges and their uranium enrichment supply lines, while noting that Iran still possesses a stockpile of enriched uranium, which forms a focal point of demands by US President Donald Trump.
He stressed the need to weaken Iran to the greatest extent possible to prevent it from possessing nuclear weapons, also affirming efforts to prevent it from developing intercontinental ballistic missiles equipped with nuclear warheads.
Targeting America
In a related context, Netanyahu accused the "Iranian regime" of targeting the United States for more than 47 years, considering that Tehran seeks to develop nuclear weapons with the aim of targeting American cities, and pointing out that President Trump has chosen to act to prevent Iran from possessing intercontinental ballistic missiles.
Since February 28, the United States and Israel have launched attacks on Iran that have resulted in the deaths of hundreds, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and security officials, while Tehran has responded with missile and drone strikes towards Israel.
Iran also targets what it claims are American interests in the region’s countries, but its attacks have led to casualties, injuries, and damage to civilian facilities, which has been condemned by the targeted countries and demanded an immediate halt.
