Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, today (Tuesday, 24 June 2025) [translated from Hebrew]:

“Dear citizens of Israel,

In the 12 days of Operation Rising Lion, we achieved a historic victory, which will stand for generations.

We removed two existential threats: The threat of annihilation by nuclear weapons and the threat of annihilation by 20,000 ballistic missiles. Had we not acted now, the State of Israel would have soon faced the danger of annihilation.

But this did not happen because at the decisive moment, we rose up and stood like lions, and our roar shook Tehran and echoed around the world.
