Netanyahu expresses desire to avoid escalation with Iran

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Iran is trying to reestablish missile and nuclear capabilities that were damaged during the June war.

"We don’t seek escalation, I hope they don’t, but if they do, all bets are off," Netanyahu said.

According to him, Iran is currently restoring its production of ballistic missiles.

The PM claimed that Iran has gone back to manufacturing ballistic missiles and is “trying” to restart its nuclear program in the aftermath of the June airstrikes carried out by the U.S. and Israel.

"I’m not sure they’ve decided to cross that line, because I think they heed President Trump’s warnings, and also because they’ve just experienced something, you know, less than a year ago," Netanyahu said.
