Netanyahu Warns Iran of Unprecedented Force as US Warship Nears Middle East

  • Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu warned Iran of an unprecedented military response if it attacks Israel, stating, "we will act with a force it has not yet known."
  • Netanyahu emphasized Israel is closely monitoring Iran and implied irreversible consequences for Tehran in any conflict.
  • The warning comes as the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group reportedly moves towards the Middle East amid rising US-Iran tensions.
  • Netanyahu also expressed disagreement with US plans for Gaza's postwar governance, opposing Turkish and Qatari participation in an advisory board.
  • Activists report over 4,029 dead and 26,000 detained in Iran's protest crackdown, with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei acknowledging "several thousand" casualties.

Why It Matters: Netanyahu issues a strong warning to Iran amid rising tensions, while also disagreeing on Gaza's postwar plans.
