JERUSALEM, March 31 (Xinhua) -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that Israel has smashed Iran's industrial capability and is creating "new alliances" in the region.
In a recorded video statement, Netanyahu reviewed the "enormous achievements" of the war, saying, "Iran has the launch capability to threaten us, but they can no longer threaten our existence."
He said Israel has managed to smash Tehran's capability "to develop nuclear weapons and tens of thousands of ballistic missiles."
He also said that Israel has created conditions for expanding alliances in the region, adding that he hopes he "will soon be able to tell the citizens of Israel about our new alliances."
On Feb. 28, Israel and the United States launched joint strikes on Iran, prompting retaliatory attacks by Iran and its regional allies on U.S. and Israeli interests across the Middle East. ■
