Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu raised his tone against Iran so that the Persian country does not “make a mistake” in launching any attack against Israel, promising a forceful response.
“If Iran makes the mistake of attacking us, we will respond with strength that the country has never experienced,” Netanyahu said in Israel’s parliament. The prime minister added that “no one can predict what will happen in Iran, but whatever happens, the country will never be the same.”
Netanyahu also rejected accusations that his government is steering Israel toward authoritarianism and called on critics to focus attention on “Iran’s violent treatment of its own population.”

Since the end of December 2025, Iran has faced a wave of instability, triggered by deteriorating economic conditions and which evolved into protests across the country. Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, confirmed that the protests resulted in “several thousand” deaths.
Meanwhile, the US military continues to reinforce its military presence in the Middle East amid the possibility of President Donald Trump ordering an attack on Iran, and more than 12 F-15 fighter jets have arrived in Jordan in the last 24 hours, according to the Jerusalem Post.
Regarding Gaza, Netanyahu stated that the next phase depends on the disarmament of Hamas and the complete demilitarization of the Gaza Strip, insisting that these objectives will be imposed “either the easy way or the hard way”.
