Prime Minister Netanyahu said Monday evening that the struggle against Iran and its proxies is not finished, and Israel must remain strong and determined for as long as necessary. He noted Israel has dealt with Iran's proxies 'in an unprecedented manner,' according to his office.
Prime Minister Netanyahu's Monday evening statement reinforces a message the desk has tracked throughout the day — that the multi-front campaign against Iran and its proxies is ongoing, despite recent successes.
The remarks come hours after a similar statement by Netanyahu warning ministers that 'there is no immunity, not in Beirut nor Tehran' (as The Zioneer reported at 20:21 Jerusalem). The sequence of public and private messaging — across at least four SAME-THREAD statements on Monday alone — reflects a deliberate effort to manage expectations for continued military operations even as diplomatic channels with the US advance.
Notably, the statement singles out Iran's 'arms' — its proxy forces — as having been dealt an unprecedented blow, while cautioning that the overall struggle continues. This echoes Defense Minister Katz's June 10 declaration that the campaign against Iran 'is far from over' and that the IDF is ready to strike Iran itself. The consistency across the political and security leadership suggests a coordinated public posture, not a one-off comment.
What remains open: the statement offers no operational timeline or specific next steps. The exact scope of 'as long as necessary' — whether weeks or years — is undefined. The desk continues to track whether this rhetorical hardening precedes a concrete military decision.
