Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated Monday evening that Iran has refrained from attacking Israel because it is deterred, according to a report. "Iran did not fire at us because they are deterred," Netanyahu said. The remark echoes his longstanding position that Israeli military strength and past operations have neutralized the immediate Iranian threat. As The Zioneer has reported, Netanyahu has repeatedly asserted that Israel's actions have removed the danger of annihilation and that Iran will not obtain nuclear weapons under his watch. The statement comes amid a period of relative calm on the Iranian front, following earlier rounds of direct confrontation. It remains unclear whether the assessment reflects new intelligence or a reiteration of existing policy.
