Netanyahu Halts Iran Airstrikes Temporarily, Warns of Strong Response to Renewed Attacks

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared a temporary suspension of airstrikes targeting Iran, while simultaneously issuing a stern warning against any resumption of attacks. The Prime Minister emphasized that the conflict with Iran and its allies, such as Hezbollah, is far from over.

In a public video address, Netanyahu stated, "The fighting on this front is currently halted. Because the terrorist regime in Tehran has stopped attacking us after being hit." He added, "If that terrorist regime makes the mistake of attacking us again, we will respond with force." This marked his first public statement since the recent aerial exchanges between Israel and Iran.

Netanyahu also mentioned that following Iran's attack, he had instructed the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to strike military and economic targets across Iran. The Prime Minister's office did not take questions from reporters following the address, indicating a controlled release of information during a sensitive period. The situation remains tense, with Israel signaling readiness for a robust response should Iran initiate further aggression.
