Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asserted on the 11th (local time) that the offensive against Iran is not yet over, stating, "There is still more work to be done."


According to reports from outlets such as The Times of Israel and The Jerusalem Post, Prime Minister Netanyahu said in a video statement late that day, "They tried to choke us, but we are choking them," making the assertion.


Prime Minister Netanyahu stated, "The Iranian regime is begging for a ceasefire," and added, "There is conflict within the Iranian leadership."


He emphasized that the attacks on Iran in June of last year and February of this year were prompted by intelligence indicating Iran's intention to develop nuclear weapons with enriched uranium.


He then self-evaluated, saying, "We can clearly say that we have already achieved historical results."


Regarding Israel's continued military actions targeting Hezbollah, a pro-Iranian armed group in Lebanon, despite the declaration of a two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran on the 7th, Prime Minister Netanyahu commented, "We are still fighting them, and it's not over yet."


As Israel continues its airstrikes targeting Hezbollah, the two countries will hold their first face-to-face negotiations in the United States on the 14th, with the disarmament of Hezbollah on the agenda.


Prime Minister Netanyahu stated, "I approved the talks," and argued for the necessity of a "genuine peace agreement."


Prime Minister Netanyahu's remarks appear to be in consideration of the high-level US and Iranian delegations engaging in final negotiations in Islamabad, Pakistan, on the same day. Prime Minister Netanyahu is known to be advocating for President Donald Trump to continue the war.


Earlier that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu also wrote on X (formerly Twitter), "While I am in office, Israel will continue to fight against Iran's terror regime and its proxies."
