Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned on Sunday that any Iranian attack on Israel would prompt a powerful military response, whether direct or carried out through proxies.
"If Iran attacks Israel, either directly or through proxies, either with ballistic missiles or UAVs or killer drones, it will make a terrible mistake," Netanyahu told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures." "Israel’s response will be very, very forceful."
The US and Israel launched military strikes against Iran on February 28 to prevent the Islamic Republic from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Netanyahu cautioned that Iran could attempt to rebuild its capabilities.
"Yes, we pushed it back, but it doesn’t mean that you can’t have an attempt to restore it," Netanyahu said. "And we have to be on constant watch so it doesn’t happen."
Netanyahu added that the US and Israeli intelligence services were "working so close together." He also said it was "a good thing to have the opportunity to sit with our good friend President Trump and to hear what he has in mind."
