Objectives of Iran attacks not achieved yet: Israeli NSA

TEL AVIV: Israel’s National Security Advisor (NSA), Tzachi Hanegbi, said that the objectives of the attack on Iran could not be achieved, and it still has thousands of ballistic missiles.

This war will not eliminate the Iranian threat. The attack aimed to put pressure on Iran’s nuclear program, he said.

Israeli NSA Tzachi Hanegbi said that the current war with Iran is not a war that will eliminate the Iranian threat in the long term.

It should be remembered that a few days ago, Tzachi Hanegbi had said in a statement that Iran’s nuclear program cannot be completely destroyed by a military campaign.

According to Israeli media reports, Israeli military analysts estimate that despite firing hundreds of missiles, Iran still has 1,500 to 2,000 missiles.

Earlier, the United States Embassy in Israel suffered slight damage from a nearby Iranian missile strike earlier today, according to the United States (US) Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee.

The attack was part of a barrage of missiles launched by Iran on Israeli cities early Monday.

Notably, Iran launched a major attack on Israel early in the morning on Monday, firing about 100 missiles, killing 5 Israelis and injuring more than 100.

Iran’s missile attacks in Haifa set fire to a power plant, resulting in a power outage in central Israel, as per the reports.

Explosions were heard in Tel Aviv and occupied Jerusalem. Israel’s defense system tried to thwart several attacks in the air.
