Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned Iran that Israel would respond with a “powerful” strike if Tehran launches any fresh attack against the country.

Netanyahu issued the warning on Tuesday during a conference, according to a video released by his office.

“I will say it to the leaders of Iran: Do not count on things remaining quiet if you attack us,” he said.

The Israeli leader added that his government would no longer tolerate attacks without a strong response.

“The days are over when someone strikes us and we don’t hit back with a decisive blow,” Netanyahu stated.

The warning comes amid heightened tensions between Israel and Iran, with both countries previously exchanging threats and military actions.
