LIVE This Morning: Netanyahu Reiterates Stance, Says Prevent Iran From Acquiring Nuclear Weapons

LIVE This Morning: Netanyahu Reiterates Stance, Says Prevent Iran From Acquiring Nuclear Weapons Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday (local time) reaffirmed that Israeli forces would remain in a security zone in southern Lebanon for as long as necessary to protect the country's citizens, while asserting Israel's commitment to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Speaking at the Jerusalem News Syndicate's (JNS) International Policy Summit 2026, Netanyahu said Israeli military operations had eliminated what he described as an existential threat posed by Iran's nuclear programme. "We have prevented Iran from carrying out a plan to annihilate us, and today they would have had a nuclear weapon, an atomic bomb, to do so. We prevented that from happening. We removed an existential danger. And had we not acted in Operation Rising Lion and then in Operation Roaring Lion, Iran would have had atomic bombs. And let me tell you something, they would have used them. That's what we prevented," Netanyahu said. #Netanyahu #Israel #Lebanon #SouthernLebanon #SecurityZone #Iran #NuclearThreat #OperationRisingLion #OperationRoaringLion #JNS2026 #InternationalPolicySummit #RepublicWorld #RepublicTV #BreakingNews #RepublicNews #IndiaNews #LiveNews #RepublicExclusive #RepublicWorldLive #ArnabGoswami #RepublicDigital #NationFirst Watch More ➡️ Videos On: https://www.youtube.com/@RepublicDefence Visit Now ➡️ Full Story On: https://www.republicworld.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Republic TV is India's no.1 English news channel since its launch.
