Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed Iran's renewed attempts to acquire nuclear weapons during a visit to the Western Wall ahead of Rosh Hashanah, pledging that as long as he serves as premier, Tehran will not possess nuclear arms.

"President Trump announced this evening that Iran is trying to arm itself again with nuclear weapons, that's correct," Netanyahu stated. "After we destroyed their immediate capability to produce nuclear bombs in both Operation Kolbiya and Operation Sha'agat Ha'ari, they're trying again."

The Prime Minister then made a solemn commitment: "I pledge to you here, at the Western Wall, ahead of Rosh Hashanah: as long as I am Prime Minister, Iran will not have nuclear weapons."

Netanyahu also referenced Israel's ongoing operations against the Iranian axis across multiple theaters, noting activity in Gaza and Lebanon.

"Simultaneously, we are striking the Iranian axis, not only very hard in Gaza, but also in Lebanon. We destroyed the Bofour ridge and are now dealing with the Ali Taher ridge," he said.

The Prime Minister concluded his remarks with a brief message: "More to come."
