Tel Aviv, March 1 — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned on Sunday that the military offensive on Iranian territory will enter a phase of greater aggressiveness and that attacks “will intensify in the coming days.” In a recorded message from the rooftop of the Ministry of Defense in Tel Aviv, the head of state confirmed that Israeli forces are already operating on strategic objectives and that pressure on the Persian capital will not stop. “Our forces are attacking the heart of Tehran with increasing intensity, which will continue to grow,” Netanyahu stated after chairing an emergency meeting with the security top brass to define the course of the campaign following the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The US sank an Iranian vessel, and the Pentagon denied an attack on its aircraft carrier. According to the Argentine News Agency, the head of state referred to the current situation as a series of “painful days,” acknowledging that at least 10 people died in the last 24 hours as a result of bombings launched by Iran against the cities of Tel Aviv and Beit Shemesh. Despite these civilian casualties, Netanyahu showed determination to continue the operation and reiterated his thanks to US President Donald Trump, highlighting the unprecedented military cooperation between the two nations. “These joint forces allow us to achieve what I have desired for 40 years: to deliver a devastating blow to the terrorist regime,” the premier stated, confirming that instructions for the rest of the campaign have already been given to his generals.
