Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a recorded statement, saying "In the very near future, you will see Israeli Air Force planes over the skies of Tehran – we will strike every site and every target of the Ayatollahs' regime." According to him, "Our goal is to thwart a dual threat from Iran – both nuclear and ballistic missiles. We were at the 90th minute. There was a race by Iran's nuclear teams to create nuclear bombs – atomic bombs for Israel's destruction."
