News Official statement Context piece
  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a stern warning to Iran, stating that any attack would be met with a significantly stronger response.
  • Netanyahu emphasized that the era of seeking revenge for attacks is over, promising a "double" retaliation.
  • These remarks come amid heightened tensions and recent clashes between the U.S. and Iran, following the collapse of a ceasefire.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a stark warning to Iran on Tuesday, declaring that any aggression against Israel would be met with a response far more powerful than any previous retaliation.

Speaking at the Negev Summit in Dimona, Netanyahu stated, "Don't expect things to pass quietly if you attack us." He added, "Everything will be different, much more powerful." His office released the statement following the remarks.

These comments emerge during a period of escalating tensions and renewed clashes between the United States and Iran, occurring after the collapse of a previously announced ceasefire. Netanyahu asserted that Israel, which participated in a war against Iran earlier this year alongside Washington, is prepared for any scenario.

"The times when someone harms us, and we do not take revenge twice, are over," the prime minister declared, signaling a significant shift in Israel's approach to defending itself against perceived threats from Tehran.
