Netanyahu Invaded Iran and Gave Them Total Victory That They Never Even Asked for

Netanyahu says he and Trump don’t always ‘see eye to eye’

The biggest news for Donald Trump and the whole world is that the Strait of Hormuz is now going to be fully open and operational.

Great, but the nightmare for Isreal and their PM Benjamin Netanyahu is that they did not invade Iran to get the Strait of Hormuz open because it was operating perfectly as it will soon resume before Israel invaded Iran to wipe the country out.

The biggest story about the Strait of Hormuz is that Iran now realizes they have one of the most powerful weapons in any war against them which is probably bigger than the nukes and it is just sitting there and Netanyahu cannot grab it and we are talking about the Strait of Hormuz.

“We have now handed Iran de facto control over the strait – a weapon more powerful than any nuke,” one of the sources familiar with the US intelligence assessments told CNN, emphasizing how the war has fundamentally altered Tehran’s thinking about leveraging similar tactics in the future.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he and US President Donald Trump don’t always “see eye to eye” during a press conference on Monday evening following Sunday’s announcement that the US and Iran reached a ceasefire agreement.

“There are times when President Trump and I don’t see eye to eye,” said Netanyahu. “Israel’s security interests need to be defended wisely.”

“We beheaded the leaders of the terror regime, we crushed the terror factories,” he said. “You [Israelis] were all in terrible danger of death.”

“We will stay in the Lebanon security buffer zone for as long as necessary,” Netanayhu added.

“Iran will never have nuclear weapons, not today and not tomorrow,” he continued.

Netanyahu seems to be very proud that they “beheaded” some leaders in his own words. The reality is that Israel could not “behead” Iran which was the plan.

Netanyahu launched the invasion on Iran knowing very well that Israel could not handle a war with Iran but commanding Donald Trump to go wipe out Iran and Trump tried and realized he could not turn Iran into a new Gaza as Netanyahu wanted and walked out of that trap. Good.

President Trump screwed Bibi Netanyahu big time when he realized he could not bring Iran to rabbles and wipe out whole populations as Netanyahu has been doing in Gaza in the Israeli ongoing genocide that Bibi is very proud to continue.

Attempted Iran wipe out is a terrible loss for Bibi. What next?

Bibi Netanyahu needs a place where Israel can bomb and kill people whether they are civilians in Lebanon or at least somewhere else. If Iran is a no gone zone now where will Netanyahu have his targets.

Right now, Netanyahu and IDF are busy bombing Lebanon and trying to capture Beirut, but it is all going to collapse without Trump joining the Israeli rampage to just keep killing people everywhere in the Middle East.

Netanyahu: Israel does not know terms of US-Iran nuclear deal

“We caused enormous damage,” he added. “We estimate it at hundreds of billions of dollars, and some estimate it even close to a trillion dollars – enormous damage to the Iranian economy that took them decades to build.”

Netanyahu warned that “the struggle is not over,” saying that Israel must “continue to stand guard, continue to be strong and determined to defend ourselves as much as necessary.”

“We did it in Gaza, we did it in Lebanon, in Syria, in Yemen, we did it in the refugee camps in Judea and Samaria, we did it everywhere,” Netanyahu continued.

Netanyahu also said he is planning to run again in the upcoming elections, adding that he is “going to win.”

Eisenkot responds to Netanyahu comments

Yashar Party leader Gadi Eisenkot, a leading rival candidate against Netanyahu in the upcoming elections, sharply criticized the prime minister’s remarks, stating that Israel had failed to achieve its military objectives.

He said it was “a very unfortunate statement by the prime minister of Israel, especially given the failure to achieve the war’s objectives after nearly three years.”

Eisenkot noted that it would have been better if Netanyahu had admitted he was wrong and that he had set false objectives he was not prepared to achieve.

“That would have given Netanyahu much more credit and respect from the public if he had admitted that he made empty declarations and conducted perception-driven operations,” Eisenkot added.

“Instead, we heard the same statements once again, more illusions, denial of the goals he previously declared, and above all, zero real answers to a public that has endured the most difficult years in its history,” he said.

Eisenkot also warned that Iran would “continue to be a bitter enemy, and we will continue to act against it and thwart its operations.”

From the ongoing battles to replace Netanyahu as the Israeli PM, the obvious problem for Israel as the whole world can see is that getting rid of Bibi as the PM makes no difference. As it is now, the Netanyahu rivals are going to be competing on who can best wipe out Iran.

Good luck with that at least Bibi tried and failed miserably. Nothing new.

Former prime minister Naftali Bennett said on Monday that Iranian regime change will start when Israel has a new government.

“The clock for regime change in Iran will start as soon as the government in Israel is changed,” said Bennett. “The leadership is a disappointment.”

“The term of the Netanyahu government began with a civil war, continued with the massacre of October 7, and ends with a historic failure against Iran,” he added.

Bennett stated that he would “implement mandatory conscription for everyone, stop the financing of evasion, and thus bring the IDF the tens of thousands of soldiers that it so lacks.”

“When there are no soldiers, you have to conquer the same point again and again, and that way you can’t win,” added Bennett. “We can restore security to Israel.” Yada Yada.

Netanyahu avoids criticizing US-Iran deal, claims war’s main goals have been achieved

In first press conference in 3 months, PM admits he does not know all details of agreement, stresses that troops will remain in south Lebanon and notes at times he and Trump disagree

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu holds a press conference at the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem, June 15, 2026.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a press conference on Monday evening, his first in three months, following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the US and Iran to end the war, during which the prime minister asserted that the fighting was successful but admitted he still does not know what is written in the deal.

Israel was sidelined entirely throughout the negotiating process, a fact that was highlighted when Netanyahu informed a reporter that Israel does not yet know the details of the deal, which is to be formally signed in Switzerland on Friday after a digital signing on Sunday night.

Despite being forced by US President Donald Trump to halt fighting against Iran and acquiesce to the whims of Washington, Netanyahu opened his press conference with an assertive defense of what he portrayed as the success of the six-week US-Israeli offensive against Iran, vowing that because of it, the Islamic Republic would not have nuclear weapons.

“With an agreement or without an agreement, Iran will not have nuclear weapons — not today and not tomorrow. As long as I am prime minister of Israel, it will not happen,” he declared, insisting that this was his “life’s mission.”

The premier, who is facing mounting domestic backlash, including from within his own government , over the apparent end of the war, reiterated his assertion that the nuclear threat from Iran had been an “immediate danger,” which Israel successfully removed “together with our American friends.”

“We launched the largest attack operation in Israel’s history,” Netanyahu bragged, listing what he said were Israel’s accomplishments.

“We targeted the nuclear scientists; we eliminated the leaders of the terror regime; we crushed the nuclear facilities; we destroyed missiles and the vast majority of the factories that produce missiles,” he said. “We struck countless military industries and infrastructures. We destroyed their navy, their air force. We eliminated base commanders who massacred the Iranian people. We caused enormous damage — [some] estimate it in the hundreds of billions of dollars, some estimate it at even close to a trillion dollars — to Iran’s economy.”

Asked by a reporter about his apparent objective of removing the threat “posed by Iran’s regime” — and why, three months later, the end of the campaign is being declared while that regime remains intact — Netanyahu rejected the premise that things went wrong and that a core goal of the campaign had gone unfilled.

“It did not go wrong at all. I defined the goals — and the cabinet defined the goals — differently from what you said,” Netanyahu told the reporter.

Both the US and Israel had been somewhat vague when laying out war aims at the outset of the campaign, but Israel consistently stressed the threat from Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities, as well as from its proxy network, at times, adding the goal of “creating the conditions” for regime change in Iran.

The prime minister on Sunday also pushed back against the idea that Israel had lost its autonomy in strategic decision-making, after it was forced to stop fighting, was shut out of talks with Tehran, and most recently was publicly lambasted by Trump for striking a Hezbollah target in Beirut on Sunday.

“In the US, they say that President Trump does everything I ask, and in Israel, they say the opposite, that I do everything he asks,” he said in response to a question. “Neither is true.”

“We have a relationship of partners who know each other,” Netanyahu insisted. “Many times, we agree; sometimes we don’t agree. That happens in the best families.”

Israel “has to take into account” what the US says, Netanyahu argued, noting that Trump “brought the US military to fight with us against our common enemy.”

“That’s a big deal,” he said. “I respect it.”

“Just as it’s impossible to say we are totally ignoring what is happening in the world, or geopolitical considerations, you can’t say we are totally bound by these considerations,” Netanyahu continued, “because under my leadership, Israel has proven that it does major things and it leads many things.”

“We are initiating, we are operating, we are surprising, and we are also winning,” he said.

Speaking about his relationship with Trump, Netanyahu said that “many times we see eye to eye, and there are also cases in which we see less eye to eye. I am responsible for Israel’s security interests. I stand up for them.”

Netanyahu declined during the press conference to say whether he would permit Israel to strike Iran alone or act independently against Hezbollah in Lebanon, but he said that Israel “will do what is necessary” to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, stressing that “I am not limiting myself in any way regarding this goal.”

He also said that Israeli troops will remain in the buffer zone in southern Lebanon “for as long as necessary.”

“Iran wanted us to withdraw from there. That did not happen. Do you know why it did not happen? Among other reasons, because I stood very, very firm. I was very, very resolute on this matter. And I think our American friends respect that resoluteness and that firm stance,” he said.

Netanyahu also declined to criticize the agreement between the US and Iran, acknowledging that Israel does not yet know its details, but nevertheless insisting that he was “not limiting” himself in acting to prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon or in preserving Israel’s freedom of action against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Pressed by a reporter about concerns over potential similarities between the US Obama administration’s 2015 nuclear deal with Iran and reported details of the emerging US-Iran framework, Netanyahu said he would not compare the two, as “we do not know what the agreement was.”

Opposition figures sharply criticized Netanyahu following his press conference, assailing his claims that the recent war against Iran saved Israel from nuclear annihilation and that its main goals were achieved even though Tehran’s regime was not replaced.

“The term of this Netanyahu government began with a civil war, continued with the October 7 massacre, and is now ending with a historic failure against Iran,” former prime minister Naftali Bennett told reporters at a press conference in Tel Aviv.

Promising to “restore security for Israel,” Bennett says that he would have done “everything” differently, including diplomatically by using his “credit with the president most sympathetic to Israel that we have ever had, solely for the benefit of Israel’s national interests,” an apparent dig at Trump’s repeated calls to pardon Netanyahu in his ongoing criminal trial.

“The countdown to replacing the regime in Iran will begin as soon as the government in Israel is replaced,” Bennett asserted.

Yashar party leader Gadi Eisenkot said that it would have been better for Netanyahu “to say, ‘I erred, I set false goals that I wasn’t able to achieve. This would have given Netanyahu much more credit and respect from the people, if he had admitted he made empty declarations.”

Eisenkot, increasingly seen as likely to be Netanyahu’s main rival in the upcoming election, also accused the premier of denying war goals he previously set and providing “zero real answers to a nation that has gone through the toughest years in its history.”

Opposition Leader Yair Lapid tweeted: “You can argue that we are a power that is close to regional dominance, you can argue that we are in danger of annihilation and one step away from mass death, but you can’t make both arguments, and definitely not one minute apart.”

And The Democrats party leader Yair Golan said that “If you dedicated most of your life to fighting the Iranian threat, and you say we came close to being annihilated, then you failed at your life mission. We appreciate the honesty.”

If Israel’s final objective and main reason to exist as a country is to eliminate Iran from the earth, then they need to find something else to do because even with President Trump it could not happen and it will never happen at all, due to Iran’s ability to defend their country.

Netanyahu’s little Prince whom he wanted to impose on Iranians as their new King also needs to find another job. Tehran is not waiting for him.
