Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned that Iran is developing intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of striking any American city, including the president's Mar-a-Lago residence. Speaking in an interview, Netanyahu claimed these missiles could reach as far as Washington DC and New York, though he did not provide evidence for his assertion. Defense experts currently believe Iran's longest-range missiles can reach up to 2,000 kilometers, far short of the United States, but concerns persist about Iran's ambitions to expand its missile capabilities.

Netanyahu's comments come amid increased intelligence cooperation between Israel and the United States on Iran's missile and drone programs. Recent joint operations targeted Iran's nuclear facilities, reportedly delaying its program by only a few months. Meanwhile, European countries have reinstated United Nations sanctions on Iran, and Netanyahu praised the strengthened US-Israel defense partnership.

On the conflict in Gaza, Netanyahu stated that the war is nearing its end, with Israel having dealt significant blows to Iran's regional proxies. He reiterated Israel's commitment to securing the release of hostages and ending Hamas rule in Gaza, while ongoing strikes and negotiations continue.
