In an interview, Benjamin Netanyahu ruled out the speculation about his safety and said that he is solidly in control.

His comments were not only personal reassurance but an indication of continuity in leadership in high intensity conflict that already changed the calculations in the military operations in West Asia.

Netanyahu presented three objectives that propelled the campaign of Israel.

These objectives imply more than short-term retaliation strategy.

According to Israeli claims, the capability of enriching of uranium and production of missiles of Iran is reduced to its knees in less than a period of 20 days.

It is reported that there were mass strikes against missile depots, drone based systems and industrial facilities.

The size of the operations indicates one of the most active military operations in the region in recent times and dozens of strategic targets.

Rising Lion operation and targets

The military campaign, referred to as Operation Rising Lion, is designed to neutralize what Israel describes as “existential threats.”

Officials claim this has evolved into targeting not only military equipment but also infrastructure that sustains the defense complex of Iran, a change to long-term strategic disruption.
