Prime Minister Netanyahu says Israel is close to achieving its goals in Iran

According to the Times Of Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on June 22 that Israel is very close to achieving its goals in Iran after causing significant damage to both the Islamic Republic's ballistic missile program and nuclear facilities.

Prime Minister Netanyahu also pledged not to let Israel be drawn into a "war of attrition" with Iran, but stressed that this did not mean he was prepared to end the military campaign before all objectives were achieved.

The Israeli Prime Minister's statement was made at a press conference on June 22, following the US attack on Iran's key nuclear facilities.

The Israeli prime minister added that the US had caused "very serious damage" to Iran's Fordow nuclear facility, but declined to provide details on the extent of the damage.

"We are eliminating the threat," Netanyahu said, referring to Iran's nuclear program.

"We will not pursue actions beyond what is necessary to achieve our objectives, but we will not end it prematurely. When the objectives are achieved, the campaign will end and the fighting will stop," he told Israeli reporters.
