Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned Iran and its proxies of a forceful Israeli response if Tehran makes what he describes as a “big mistake,” according to an interview with the Jerusalem Post to be published Thursday. The PM claims Iran was “on the verge of atomic bombs,” escalating rhetoric surrounding Tehran’s nuclear programme.

Netanyahu’s comments come as Israeli intelligence reportedly assesses that Iran and its regional allies are plotting ways to influence Israel’s upcoming elections. The statement represents a significant escalation in Israel-Iran tensions, particularly regarding both nuclear security concerns and alleged interference in Israeli domestic politics.

The threat of military response echoes Israel’s previous strikes on Iranian targets and reflects ongoing concerns about Iran’s nuclear ambitions and regional proxy network, which includes groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas.
