World News : Amid widespread rumors about his death, Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly appeared and dismissed all speculation. Speaking at a press conference, he stated, “I am alive, and you are all witnesses,” putting an end to the circulating claims.
During the briefing, Netanyahu also highlighted ongoing coordination between Israel and the United States regarding Iran. He emphasized that under the leadership of Donald Trump, both nations are working together with “strong determination and power.”
⚔️ Operation Rising Lion: Key Objectives
Netanyahu referred to a military initiative called “Operation Rising Lion,” stating that its primary goal is to counter threats posed by Iran’s current regime.
He outlined three major objectives of the operation:
-
Eliminating the nuclear threat completely
-
Disabling Iran’s ballistic missile program, especially protected systems
-
Creating conditions that allow Iranian citizens to gain greater control over their future
He added that Israel has long warned about Iran’s missile capabilities, which could target distant regions if left unchecked.
🚀 Claims of Strategic Gains
According to Netanyahu, Israel is gaining an advantage in the operation. He claimed that Iran’s missile and drone capabilities have been significantly weakened, and several key nuclear facilities have been damaged.
He also stated that Iran’s air defense and naval systems have been impacted, though further action is still ongoing.
🛢️ Strait of Hormuz and Oil Prices
Referring to the Strait of Hormuz, Netanyahu said efforts are underway—primarily led by the United States, with Israeli support—to ensure the route remains open.
He noted that if these efforts succeed, global oil prices could stabilize or even decline, given the strait’s importance as a major oil transit route.
👉 Overall, Netanyahu’s appearance not only dismissed rumors about his death but also underscored Israel’s continued focus on countering Iran’s military and nuclear capabilities.
