Netanyahu Warns Iran: Unprecedented Force if Israel Attacked

• Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu warned Iran of an unprecedented response if it attacks Israel, amid rising regional tensions.
• Netanyahu's remarks followed US President Trump's warnings to Iran over its crackdown on protests, though diplomacy remains an option.
• The US has deployed an aircraft carrier strike group to the region, while Iran's President Pezeshkian criticized US 'threats' to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
• Israel and Iran had a brief conflict last June, involving Israeli strikes on Iran and Iranian missile attacks on Israeli cities, with US involvement.
• Netanyahu also stated Israel's focus on disarming Hamas and demilitarizing Gaza, opposing a Palestinian state and maintaining security control.

Why It Matters: Netanyahu threatens Iran with overwhelming force if attacked, while also outlining post-hostage Gaza strategy.
