Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a sharp warning to Iran's leadership on Monday. He spoke directly to the Knesset, Israel's parliament. Netanyahu promised an unprecedented military response if Iran attacks Israel.
Strong Words for Iran
Netanyahu addressed the Iranian regime led by Ayatollah Khamenei. He stated clearly that Israel watches Iran closely. The Prime Minister said no one can predict Iran's future. But he emphasized it will not return to its former state if conflict erupts.
"If it makes a mistake and attacks us, we will act with a force it has not yet known," Netanyahu declared. His remarks suggest irreversible consequences for Tehran. This warning comes amid rising regional tensions.
US Military Movements
Reports indicate the United States is moving the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group toward the Middle East. This nuclear-powered carrier group deployment signals heightened alert. It occurs as US-Iran relations grow more strained.
Gaza Governance Disagreement
Netanyahu also discussed post-war plans for Gaza. He revealed a disagreement with American allies about governance proposals. The US-led plan includes a "Board of Peace" chaired by President Donald Trump.
Turkish and Qatari officials might participate in this board. Netanyahu firmly rejected this possibility. He stated neither Turkish nor Qatari soldiers would operate in Gaza.
Historical Tensions
Israel maintains difficult relations with both Turkey and Qatar. The country consistently opposes any Turkish role in Gaza affairs. Turkey and Qatar have mediated between Israel and Hamas in the past.
Netanyahu's position shows Israel's determination to control security arrangements. The Prime Minister wants to ensure no hostile forces gain influence near Israeli borders.
The situation remains fluid as diplomatic efforts continue. Military preparations and political negotiations unfold simultaneously. Observers watch carefully for any escalation in the volatile region.
