Tel Aviv [Israel]: Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, declared on Saturday (local time) that Israel will keep up its actions against Iran until all objectives were met.

I thank our pilots, fighters, ground personnel, security and rescue teams, and you–Israeli citizens–for your unwavering spirit, duty, and heroic stand,” the message read.

It further stated, “Together, we have changed the face of the Middle East.” We shall continue to fight, and we will roar like lions. And with God’s guidance, we shall assure Israel’s eternal existence.”

אנחנו בעיצומה של מערכה גורלית על קיומנו.

בשבוע האחרון פעלנו בעוצמה, ביוזמה ובנחישות מול אויבינו – ונמשיך לפעול בכל הכוח, עד להשגת כל מטרותינו.

אני מצדיע לטייסינו, ללוחמינו, לצוותי הקרקע, לכוחות הביטחון וההצלה, ולכם – אזרחי ישראל – על הרוח האיתנה, האחריות והעמידה האמיצה.

Benjamin Netanyahu stated

He stated, “Our achievement will result in not only the elimination of the nuclear menace to the entire world, but also peace between Israel and Iran. It will also result in a significant extension of the circle of calm surrounding us. Today, everyone recognises that the Ayatollahs’ dictatorship endangers the entire globe. Iran has recently launched attacks on 12 neighbouring countries. “We stand with them.”All of these countries recognise Israel’s enormous power, our willingness to battle the tyrants in Tehran, the bravery of our army and people, and our immense military and scientific capacities. Many countries are turning to us. I’m telling you, many countries are now seeking us for collaboration,” Netanyahu said.

The announcement follows a number of developments in West Asia and the Gulf.

Meanwhile, the Israel Defence Forces announced on Saturday that it had attacked two major ballistic missile development sites in Parchin and Shahrud. According to the IDF, the targets included factories producing explosive materials for ballistic missile warheads, complexes producing unique raw materials for missile engines, a missile engine mixing and casting facility, and a complex used for research, development, assembly, and production of advanced cruise missiles.

Earlier, Dubai Media Office reported that police had confirmed the death of a Pakistani motorist in the Al Barsha area after debris from an aerial interception collided with a vehicle. It further stated that police confirmed a minor incident on the front of a tower in Dubai Marina, with no injuries recorded.

Meanwhile, the IRNA reported on Sunday, citing the IRGC, that a refinery in Haifa was targeted. According to a post on X, “IRGC: The Haifa refinery was struck by Kheibarshekan missiles.”

According to Al Jazeera Breaking, airstrikes attacked an oil storage facility in Tehran. Hezbollah also claimed to have launched missiles at the Haifa naval facility and fired rockets toward Kiryat Shmona.

The Jerusalem Post reported on Saturday night, citing IDF sources, that the Israeli Air Force bombed significant oil resources in Tehran, Iran. According to the sources, the oil resources targeted are intimately related to Iran’s military industrial complex.

The battle in West Asia has now expanded to include numerous Gulf countries.

These developments come after growing tensions erupted following a joint US-Israeli military operation on Iranian territory on February 28 that killed the country’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and other senior individuals, triggering a harsh response from Tehran.

In response, Iran launched ballistic missiles and drones at US assets and allies in the region, including Israel, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan, exacerbating the conflict in West Asia and increasing risks for civilians and expatriates alike.
