Apr 01, 2026

Praising the "enormous accomplishments" achieved in the conflict with Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that the combined Israel-US effort was "systematically crushing" the Tehran government while eliminating existential hazards to the Jewish state. Addressing the public in Hebrew on March 31 prior to the Passover festival, Netanyahu emphasised that "sooner or later" the Iranian administration will collapse. Netanyahu also noted that Israel is simultaneously forging "new alliances with important countries in the region" to counter the collective threat posed by Iran. However, the Prime Minister did not name specific nations. The speech took place as the country honoured four soldiers killed during ground operations in Lebanon. Offering his sympathies, the Prime Minister acknowledged that these military successes have come with "painful costs". Among the actions taken against Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu cited hits on Tehran’s nuclear programme, their missiles and the regime's military infrastructure. Netanyahu also insisted that Iran is currently "weaker than ever" whereas Israel is "stronger than ever", though he cautioned that the military effort "is not yet over". He further claimed that Israel's actions had alerted the international community to the Iranian threat. Meanwhile, The U.S., Israel- Iran war now in its second month witnessed another warning from the I Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps on March 31. The IRGC has issued a chilling ultimatum to 18 major American corporations, warning that their regional infrastructure will be targeted following allegations of their involvement in hostile operations. According to a report by Iranian state media Press TV, the elite military force claimed these businesses have actively "assisted US-Israeli terror operations inside Iran by providing espionage services.”
