Israel Expands Strikes on Iran Amid Nuclear Confrontation, Netanyahu Vows No Second Holocaust

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to prevent a 'second Holocaust' by stopping Iran's nuclear weapons program, describing it as an existential threat to Israel and the world. Israel has launched extensive airstrikes deep into Iran targeting nuclear sites, military installations, and missile stockpiles in response to intelligence indicating Iran is rapidly advancing toward nuclear capability. Iran retaliated with ballistic missile attacks on Israeli cities, causing civilian casualties and widespread damage, escalating fears of a broader regional conflict. Netanyahu emphasized the urgency of acting now to stop Iran from weaponizing uranium and warned that Iran intends to supply nuclear weapons to proxy groups, posing a global threat. He also mentioned ongoing efforts to negotiate the release of hostages held in Gaza, reflecting the multiple fronts of Israel’s security challenges. The Israeli government portrays this conflict as a battle against barbarism and nuclear terrorism, with Netanyahu expressing close cooperation with U.S. President Trump on these security issues.
