Prime Minister Netanyahu asserted: “We have dealt ten plagues upon the Axis of Evil: The blow to Hamas in Gaza, the blow to Hizbollah in Lebanon, the blow to Assad in Syria, the blow to terrorist organizations in Judea and Samaria, the blow to the Houthis in Yemen, and five more blows to Iran: The blow to their nuclear program, the blow to their missiles, the blow to the regime’s infrastructure, the blow to the forces of oppression, and the ‘Plague of the Firstborn’, or in our case, the blow to the senior leadership”. He added that “following ‘Rising Lion’ [in June 2025] and the protests in Iran that followed, and following the crushing blows we have dealt Iran in ‘Roaring Lion’, we have shaken this regime. And I tell you, sooner or later, it is destined to fall…  In ‘Rising Lion,’ we pushed away the immediate threat of Iran arming itself with nuclear weapons and numerous ballistic missiles, and in ‘Roaring Lion’ we achieved a complementary success by crushing the regime’s industrial capacity to produce these instruments of destruction”.
