Netanyahu Defends Israeli Attacks Against Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah no longer pose significant threats in the region due to Israel’s degradation of their capabilities.

Netanyahu spoke on Sunday at the IDF Northern Command, where he visited alongside Defense Minister Israel Katz and IDF Chief-of-Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir.

“Iran is not the same Iran, Hezbollah is not the same Hezbollah, and Hamas is not the same Hamas,” he declared, saying “terrorist armies” are now “battered enemies” fighting for survival.

Commending IDF commanders for their participation in Israel’s “multi-arena campaign,” Netanyahu said Israel stepped up “surprising” and “attacking” its adversaries to prevent offensives.

The premier said the “immense force” against Iran and its proxies was achieving “great accomplishments,” crediting the achievements for the “visible cracks in the terrorist regime in Tehran.”

Netanyahu recalled how former Hezbollah secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah, who was eliminated in 2024, created a massive force with the intention of perpetrating carnage in Israel.

“We eliminated Nasrallah; thousands of Hezbollah terrorists,” he boasted. “We eliminated the immense threat of 150,000 missiles and rockets that were intended to destroy the cities of Israel.”

But Netanyahu emphasized that Hezbollah still has “a residual capability to launch rockets,” revealing his discussions with IDF commanders focused on ways to remove the threats.

Meanwhile, N12, an Israeli news platform, has reported the government’s plans to invite the United States to move some of its Middle East bases to Israel and build new ones after the war.

However, European leaders on Sunday criticized Netanyahu for allegedly preventing Catholics from celebrating Palm Sunday in Jerusalem’s Holy Places.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro said the action was done “without any explanation, reasons or motives,” stressing that coexistence is impossible without tolerance.

“We condemn this unjustified attack on religious freedom and demand that Israel respect the diversity of beliefs and international law,” Sánchez wrote in a post on X.

Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney similarly faulted Israel’s decision to block the Latin patriarch of Jerusalem from marking Palm Sunday at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

Carney said the act “further violates the longstanding status quo of Jerusalem’s Holy Sites,” adding that people of every faith in Jerusalem should be able to worship freely and without fear.

A court in India has denied bail to a 44-year-old Nigerian national, Cristian Soporuchukwu, who is currently facing drug trafficking charges in the country.

Cristian Soporuchukwu initially entered India on a business visa but was later arrested over allegations of involvement in the sale of hard drugs.

Reports indicated that after arriving in India, Soporuchukwu travelled through Goa, Delhi, and Mumbai, where he allegedly established links with suspected drug traffickers.

He was accused of purchasing MDMA crystals and distributing them to college students and information technology workers.

According to reports, operatives of the Beguru Police arrested Cristian Soporuchukwu in April 2025 for allegedly selling MDMA crystals around Begur Lake and the AECS Layout Road area.

The New Indian Express reported that the High Court of Karnataka subsequently dismissed the Nigerian’s bail application.

“The anti-narcotics wing seized about 1 kg of MDMA crystals, a pocket weighing machine, 10 zip-lock covers, a mobile phone and a scooter from him,” the report stated.

Justice V. Srishananda, while ruling on the bail application, reportedly held that errors relating to the grounds of arrest could not automatically justify bail in serious narcotics-related offences under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, NDPS, Act.

The court further noted that Cristian Soporuchukwu had allegedly overstayed his visa in India, according to the report.

The United States Treasury has announced sanctions against Iran’s Persian Gulf Strait Authority.

Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, said this in a statement on Wednesday.

The statement extended the threat of sanctions to anyone paying the fees, saying they may be providing support to and receiving services from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, and therefore may be exposed to sanctions risk.

“The Iranian military’s latest attempt to extort global maritime trade is proof that Economic Fury has left the regime desperate for cash.

“Treasury has deprived the Iranian regime of revenue for their weapons programs, terrorist proxies, and nuclear ambitions,” Bessent said.

Bessent added that the US has succeeded in disrupting tens of billions of dollars’ worth of revenue from being accessible to Tehran.

The United States has launched new airstrikes in southern Iran.

The strike shot down four one-way attack drones that posed a threat around the Strait of Hormuz and then a ground control site.

A US official revealed that American forces struck an Iranian ground control station in Bandar Abbas that was about to launch a fifth drone.

The official described the strikes as purely defensive, saying the US intended to maintain the ceasefire.

Report says this is the second time in three days that the US has carried out self-defense strikes against Iranian military targets in southern Iran.

Recall that on Monday the US carried out airstrikes against Iranian missile locations and boats that US Central Command said were preparing to launch mines in the Strait of Hormuz.
