Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that Israel stands ready to strike Iran again "if needed," vowing that Tehran "will not have nuclear weapons" despite the entry into force of a US-Iran memorandum of understanding brokered under Pakistani mediation.

Speaking to Israel's Channel 14, Netanyahu claimed that recent military action had prevented an existential threat, stating: "In Iran, we saved ourselves from atomic bombs." He added that the Islamic Republic would not obtain nuclear weapons under Israel's watch.

Diplomatic agreement

The memorandum entered into force on June 18 after being electronically signed by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and US President Donald Trump, establishing a framework for negotiations between Washington and Tehran. Brokered under Pakistani mediation, the deal addresses sanctions relief, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the nuclear issue, and broader regional security arrangements.

Israeli opposition

Israel has repeatedly expressed opposition to any agreement with Tehran and has warned of launching renewed strikes on Iran. The pact also provides for a cessation of hostilities following months of conflict between Washington and Tehran.
