Die Zeit: There is no evidence to support Netanyahu’s claims regarding the destruction of the Iranian army
The German Die Zeit newspaper has challenged recent statements by Benjamin Netanyahu regarding what he described as the “destruction” of the Iranian armed forces, arguing that the claims were made without verifiable evidence.
According to Die Zeit report, the Israeli prime minister asserted that Iran is no longer capable of enriching uranium following a series of Israeli and US strikes.
He also claimed that the Iranian leadership has lost the ability to manufacture ballistic missiles, however, the German newspaper emphasized that Netanyahu hasn’t presented concrete proof to substantiate these assertions.
According to Die Zeit, Netanyahu’s claims further noted an apparent contradiction, as shortly after declaring that Iran’s military capabilities had been decisively crippled, Netanyahu reportedly spoke about the need to continue military operations against targets inside Iranian territory.
Analysts cited by the German newspaper suggested that such statements raise questions about the actual effectiveness and strategic outcomes of the strikes.
In his remarks, Netanyahu reportedly described Iran’s air-defense systems as ineffective, claimed that much of the country’s naval fleet had been destroyed, and characterized its air force as severely weakened.
Despite these assessments, he insisted that Israeli operations would continue for as long as necessary, signaling the possibility of further escalation in the region.
