Netanyahu warns of "very dire implications for Iran" if Tehran decides to attack Israel, and voiced support for protests by the Iranian people, who "stand before a decisive moment."

Speaking in the Knesset, Netanyahu said:
"President Trump and I share a determined position. We will not allow Iran to rebuild its ballistic missile industry, and of course, we will not allow it to resume its nuclear program that we significantly hit during Operation Rising Lion.

"Our shared position on Iran remains. Zero enrichment capability, removing all the enriched uranium from Iranian territory, and strict and rigorous inspections over its nuclear sites.

"When we discussed Iran, the popular uprising, not just in Tehran but elsewhere, it has only just begun, and in the meantime, has widely spread. We, in Israel, sympathize with the struggle of the Iranian people and with their aspirations for freedom and justice. It is very possible that we stand before a decisive moment, in which the Iranian people take their destiny into their own hands.

"In any case, even before I visited the United States and during the visit, I clarified concerning military drills conducted by Iran just a few days ago, that if we are attacked, the implications for Iran will be very dire."
