Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed Tuesday (Jul 14) to strike powerfully against Iran if it staged a new attack on his country.<\/p>\n
“I will say it to the leaders of Iran: Do not count on things remaining quiet if you attack us,” Netanyahu said at a conference in Dimona.<\/p>\n
The southern town hosts a facility officially dedicated to nuclear research but is widely believed to house Israel’s undeclared nuclear arsenal.<\/p>\n
“The days are over when someone strikes us and we don’t hit back with a decisive blow,” Netanyahu added.<\/p>\n
He said the strikes would be more powerful than the ones carried out jointly with key ally the United States earlier this year.<\/p>\n
“Do not count on a rerun,” Netanyahu said, referring to the previous attacks on Iran, according to a video released by his office.<\/p>\n
“Because it will not be a rerun, and that was already powerful enough. This will be a different event, much more powerful.”<\/p>\n
Netanyahu’s threat came amid new US strikes on Iran and as US President Donald Trump vowed to reimpose a blockade on Iranian ports.<\/p>\n
US strikes on Tuesday also hit the Iranian port city of Bushehr, which hosts Tehran’s only civilian nuclear plant.<\/p>\n
In retaliation to US strikes that began three days ago, Iran has launched missiles targeting US allies in the region.<\/p>\n
