Israeli Air Force jets will soon be seen flying over the skies of Tehran, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday, warning Iran that Israel "will strike every site and every target of the ayatollah regime."

Netanyahu said that Israel had caused "real damage" to Iran's nuclear program, despite claims to the contrary made by Iranian officials.

"In the very near future, you will see Israeli Air Force warplanes above the skies of Tehran," the prime minister said. "We will strike every site and every target of the ayatollah regime.

Netanyahu warns of Iran's two-pronged threat to Israel

"We are operating forcefully to remove the two-pronged threat to Israel - the ballistic missiles and the nuclear program."

On the latter, Netanyahu stated that Israel was "in the 90th minute - Iran's nuclear teams were racing to build nuclear warheads. I heard there were those who claim we had no accomplishments in this regard, that is wrong," the prime minister stated.
