NETANYAHU ORDERS: Destroy Iran’s Arms Industry Within 48 Hours

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly ordered an aggressive escalation in efforts to dismantle Iran’s arms industry over the next 48 hours, according to two officials who spoke to The New York Times.

The directive signals a renewed urgency within Israel’s leadership as the conflict enters a critical phase.

The order was issued from a fortified underground command center beneath Israel’s military headquarters in Tel Aviv, highlighting the high-stakes environment in which key decisions are being made.

According to the report, Netanyahu’s move came shortly after his government obtained details of a proposed 15-point U.S. framework aimed at ending the war with Iran.

Strategic Concerns Over U.S. Diplomacy

Israeli officials are reportedly concerned that a potential agreement between the United States and Iran could fall short of Israel’s primary objectives.

Chief among those goals are the elimination of Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities and preventing Tehran from developing nuclear weapons.

Beyond military objectives, some within Netanyahu’s government are also said to support broader political outcomes, including the possibility of internal unrest in Iran leading to regime change.
