"The incredible cooperation that we have between our militaries is unprecedented, compared even to some of the alignment of the allies in WWII. Iran was recharging and reigniting its program, its nuclear program, in clandestine new sites that were extremely sensitive, and we could have missed the opportunity of taking care of them."
"Iran was rushing a plan of 20,000 ballistic missiles. They had 2,000 at the opening of this operation. Twenty thousand would have made a sea change of their power in the region for generation or so. We also are hurting the government/military infrastructure substantially to enable the people to rise up."
Israeli President Isaac Herzog addressed business leaders in Washington, emphasizing regional solidarity regarding U.S.-Israeli military operations against Iran. He highlighted unprecedented military cooperation between the United States and Israel, comparing it favorably to WWII alliances. Herzog justified the strikes by citing Iran's nuclear program expansion at clandestine sites and its accumulation of ballistic missiles, warning that 20,000 missiles would significantly alter regional power dynamics. He also referenced Iran's domestic protests and government crackdowns as additional justification, claiming the military action targets government infrastructure to enable popular uprising. While acknowledging the operation's costs and controversy, Herzog characterized the strikes as essential for Middle East prosperity and stability.
