00:00Citizens of Israel, my brothers and my sisters, we are living through historic days, days
00:07that will be forever etched into the annals of Israel's history.
00:11In Operation Lion's roar, our roar is growing louder and stronger.
00:15We are severing the terror regime in Iran.
00:18We are striking and cutting off its proxies, Hezbollah in Lebanon.
00:23In an unprecedented collaboration between Israel and the United States, we have achieved
00:28truly enormous accomplishments, achievements that are fundamentally changing the balance
00:32of power in the Middle East and even far beyond.
00:35These significant achievements are solidifying Israel's position as a formidable power, stronger
00:40now than it has ever been before.
00:42And this dramatic and profound shift in our own national strength, when compared directly
00:45against the power of our enemies, is the absolute key to guaranteeing our very survival and continued
00:50existence.
00:51Threats are always rising and threats are always falling.
00:54But as we grow into a regional power, and in certain fields, we become a global power,
01:01we have the strength to keep dangers away from us and to ensure our future.
01:07In the year of 1993, I published an article in one of the daily newspapers, and I clearly
01:10stated within it, the single greatest danger to the very existence of Israel is not actually
01:13located in the Arab countries.
01:18She is in Iran.
01:21Since then, for over 30 years, the murderous Ayatollah regime has indeed worked to harm the
01:28United States and the West.
01:29But first and foremost, it has worked to advance its plan for the destruction of Israel.
01:35He did this on three levels.
01:37First, he built an axis of evil, comprising terror armies like Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis,
01:43the Assad regime, and other groups.
01:45The second level involved his efforts to establish an arsenal of tens of thousands of deadly ballistic
01:51missiles.
01:52And the third level, he worked to develop atomic bombs with the explicitly stated goal of wiping
01:58us off the face of the earth.
02:00Okay, he won't do that.
02:01As Prime Minister of Israel, I led many overt and covert operations that set back Iran,
02:10diminishing its capabilities.
02:12But now is the time we must build our military capabilities, our technological capabilities,
02:18and our diplomatic capabilities to strike Iran with great power and remove the threats from
02:25us.
02:26All these efforts converged into the War of Revival, Lua Fiat's nation, and now to the
02:32Lion's Roar.
02:33In the War of Revival, we severely damage the axis of evil.
02:37It's still there, but with greatly diminished capabilities.
02:41We are committed to completing this vital mission, to bring full security to all citizens of Israel,
02:47and especially to the residents of the North, just as we are currently doing, and will continue
02:51to do for the residents of the South.
02:54Hezbollah is already feeling the full might of our arm, and he will feel it with even greater
02:58undeniable force.
03:00He will pay a very heavy price for his aggression.
03:03In an operation with our dogs, we also, for the first time, paved the way for comprehensive
03:08damage to Iran's vast missile stockpile and its additional missile production facilities.
03:14We did the same regarding its nuclear project, including a fatal blow to senior Iranian scientists.
03:21They led the development of the atomic bombs intended to destroy us.
03:26They are no more.
03:27And by the way, we just hit a few more.
03:30After with Calbee, President Trump and I warned the dictator Khamenei.
03:37We told him, if you try to reestablish your death industries, we will strike you with a force
03:43you have never known.
03:46Not only did he completely disregard our warnings, he launched an accelerated operation to rehabilitate
03:53his nuclear and missile program, and this time to bury them deep, deep beneath the Earth's
03:58surface, hidden away under towering mountains.
04:02Had we not taken immediate and decisive action, within a matter of months, Iran's death-dealing
04:07industry would have become completely invulnerable to any form of attack.
04:11Therefore, we went out together to this campaign, the United States and Israel, to continue what
04:17we did with all our might.
04:19To prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
04:22To prevent Iran from developing ballistic missiles that would threaten Israel, the United States
04:28and the entire world.
04:29This is our goal.
04:31In a very short time, we eliminated the oppressive tyrant Khamenei, along with many high-ranking
04:36officials within the terror regime.
04:39We eliminated the old tyrant and the new tyrant Mojtaba, the puppet of the Revolutionary Guards,
04:45cannot show his face in public.
04:46We are actively disrupting the nuclear infrastructure, the entire array of missiles and their launchers,
04:53the command headquarters of the suppression forces, the primary power centers of the regime,
04:57and a great many other significant targets, and simultaneously, we are working to advance
05:02another goal, to create the conditions for the Iranian people so they can remove the cruel,
05:08tyrannical regime that has oppressed them for nearly five decades.
05:13We are delivering crushing blows against the Revolutionary Guards and the Basij, both in
05:19the streets and at the checkpoints, and there is still more to come.
05:23I want to tell the Iranian people this.
05:25The moment when you will be able to embark on a new path of freedom, that moment is drawing
05:31closer and closer.
05:32We are standing right here by your side.
05:36We are here to help you, but ultimately, at the end of the day, it's entirely up to you.
05:42It's in your hands.
05:43We can already say with absolute certainty that this is no longer the same Iran, this is no
05:51longer the same Middle East, and this is no longer the same Israel.
05:56We are not waiting, we are initiating, we are attacking, and we are doing this with a power
06:02that has never been seen before.
06:04We have forged an unprecedented alliance with the United States, an alliance with our great
06:09friend, my personal friend, President Trump.
06:12We talk almost every single day.
06:15We speak freely, often at the bar.
06:17We focus on our goals, exchanging our ideas and advice, and making decisions together.
06:24President Trump told me something I want to share with you.
06:26He told me this just a short while ago.
06:28The relationship between us is a hundred times stronger than any relationship that has
06:33ever existed between an American president and an Israeli prime minister.
06:39We are not thinking only about our countries, only about this generation.
06:43We are also thinking about the coming generations, about the future of humanity.
06:47In these days, my people and I are forging additional alliances with countries in the region.
06:52Alliances that until just a few weeks ago seemed completely imaginary.
06:57And we are doing all of this.
06:59We are achieving this thanks to the enormous power we have built.
07:03Pause.
07:04Thanks to the exceptional bravery of our commanders and fighters.
07:08Pause.
07:08And thanks to your steadfast resilience, citizens of Israel.
07:11I know that you are diligently following the instructions of the Homefront Command.
07:17You are repeatedly entering the shelters.
07:21I know it's not easy.
07:23I know it's also very difficult right now in the north.
07:26But by being so careful, you are both saving lives and providing the backing and breathing
07:31room to me, to the Israeli government, to the IDF, and to the security forces to achieve
07:37the campaign's goals.
07:39As President Trump, quite astonishedly said to me, only in Israel are the educational journeys
07:44reversed.
07:44In every other country around the world, people want to flee from conflict zones.
07:47But only in your Israel does everyone want to return.
07:50He said, see.
07:54Where does this spirit come from?
07:57He always asks me.
07:58And I tell him, this is the secret to our success.
08:01This is the resilience of our people.
08:03This is the power of our faith.
08:05Our unwavering belief in the eternity of Israel.
