Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that the confrontation with Iran is far from over, warning that Tehran has yet to agree to remove nuclear materials from its territory despite mounting international pressure.
In remarks to CNBC, Netanyahu said Iran has not accepted proposals related to the transfer of nuclear materials outside the country, adding that diplomatic and political pressure on Tehran continues to increase as efforts intensify to reach new understandings over its nuclear programme.
The Israeli leader noted that he remains aligned with Donald Trump on the main objectives concerning Iran, although tactical differences exist between the two sides. He stressed that communication between Washington and Jerusalem remains frequent and ongoing.
According to Netanyahu, President Trump is currently examining several options for dealing with the Iranian file, while consultations between the two leaders continue amid rapidly evolving developments across the Middle East.
Addressing regional security concerns, Netanyahu claimed that several groups hostile to Israel operate from Beirut, saying Israel continues to monitor threats on multiple fronts.
He further argued that Iran has been significantly weakened in recent months but insisted that the broader confrontation has not ended. Netanyahu said both Israel and the United States remain prepared to act should circumstances require further measures.
The prime minister also indicated that military escalation and efforts to guarantee freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz remain among the options under consideration, while emphasizing that any final decision on such measures rests with the U.S. administration.
