Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Sunday that Israel's recent airstrike on Iranian military targets was 'precise and powerful,' achieving all its objectives. The attack, which took place on Saturday, severely harmed Iran's defense capabilities and its ability to produce missiles aimed at Israel. Netanyahu emphasized that the strike was in retaliation for an earlier Iranian missile attack on Israel in October, which was largely intercepted. He also expressed gratitude to the United States for its close coordination during the operation. Netanyahu warned Tehran of a 'heavy price' for any retaliation.
