Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reaffirmed on March 3 his support for US-Israeli military actions against Iran, recently launched under the operation named Epic Fury/Roaring Lion. He emphasized that these operations serve to protect not only Israel and the United States but also the wider international community from what he described as “theological thuggery.”

Netanyahu’s Strong Remarks on Iran’s Threat

In an interview with Fox News, Netanyahu characterized the Iranian regime as a source of global terror, stating that it has caused significant harm to American citizens. He claimed, “Iran for 47 years has been chanting death to America. They have murdered and maimed thousands of Americans,” citing attacks on US embassies and assassination attempts on a former US president. He pointed out that Iran is responsible for a network of terror that threatens various nations.

Praise for Former President Trump

During his interview, Netanyahu commended former President Donald Trump’s leadership, highlighting his decisive nature and clarity of thought. He remarked on Trump’s ability to focus on crucial issues and his role in restoring America’s position as a leading force in global security. Netanyahu referred to Trump as an exceptional leader for the free world.

Statement on War and Peace

Netanyahu described the ongoing military actions as a pathway to peace rather than an unending conflict. He voiced the urgency of addressing the perceived threat from Iran, stating, “There is great danger and it’s time to act.” His remarks come amidst a backdrop of escalating tensions in the region following the commencement of military operations.

US Vice President and Secretary of War Offer Support

US Vice President JD Vance indicated earlier in the week that President Trump had implemented these military measures to safeguard American national security. Vance stressed the administration’s commitment to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, aiming for long-term safety beyond Trump’s presidency. Meanwhile, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth referred to the current situation as a pivotal moment for America, calling for perseverance and echoing the administration’s principle of “peace through strength.”

International Response to Escalating Conflict

The ongoing military offensive, which commenced on February 28, has profoundly escalated tensions in West Asia. The coordinated strikes by US and Israeli forces targeted strategic military locations, nuclear sites, and command centers across Iran. In retaliation, Iran has launched ballistic missiles and drones against US assets and allies, including nations such as Bahrain, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates.

Urging for De-escalation Amidst Global Concern

As military confrontations continue, there are growing calls from world leaders and international organizations for immediate de-escalation to mitigate the risk of a broader regional conflict. Despite these appeals, the fighting persists, with no apparent resolution in sight. The international community remains watchful as developments unfold in this volatile situation.
