Netanyahu Warns Iran Not to Attack Israel If It Does Not Want a Very Severe Response

JAKARTA - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Iran that his military would launch a devastating attack if Israel was attacked.

"Don't expect the situation to remain calm if you attack us. Don't expect the same thing to happen again. Because this will not just happen again - even the previous incident was already devastating. This will be a different event, much more devastating," Netanyahu said while speaking at the Negev Conference in Dimona, as reported by CNN, Tuesday, July 14.

Dimona, the site of the conference, is located near Israel's main nuclear research center.

The last time Iran attacked Israel was on June 8, after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) targeted Hezbollah in Beirut.

Israel had actually prepared for a much larger wave of attacks on Iran before President Donald Trump downplayed Iran's ballistic missile attacks on Israel and imposed a ceasefire.
