JAKARTA - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel in 12 days of its war with Iran had eliminated Iran's nuclear threat and was determined to thwart any Tehran attempts to revive its program.
"We have eliminated two direct existential threats to us, the threat of nuclear destruction (with) and the threat of annihilation by 20,000 ballistic missiles," he said in a video statement.
If anyone in Iran tries to revive this project, we will work with the same determination and strength to thwart such an attempt. I repeat, Iran will not have nuclear weapons, "said the Israeli Prime Minister.
Netanyahu calls it a historic victory that will last for generations.
He said Israel had never had better friends at the White House than President Donald Trump, whose military brought down a massive bunker destroyer bomb on Iran's underground nuclear site in a weekend attack.
"Our friend President Trump has united on our side in an unprecedented way. Under his direction, the United States military destroyed the underground enrichment site at Fordow," Netanyahu said.

Netanyahu said Israel's work was not over yet. He alluded to the war against Iran's ally, Hamas, in Gaza, where 50 hostages have been still being held since the Palestinian militant group carried out a surprise attack on October 7, 2023.
Around 20 people are believed to be still alive.
"We have to finish the campaign against the Iranian axis, beat Hamas, and free all hostages, both alive and dead," Netanyahu said.
