In an interview on Israeli television Channel 14 , Netanyahu declared that a third confrontation with Iran could happen, "if necessary," following last year's war and the war that began on February 28th of this year.

According to The Times of Israel on July 1st, Netanyahu reiterated his commitment that Tehran would not be able to acquire nuclear weapons as long as he remains in power. "As long as I am prime minister , Iran will not have nuclear weapons," he declared.

Earlier, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that war with Iran could resume if Iran fired missiles at Israel. According to Fox News , Katz said Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was a target.

Speaking to reporters about the possibility of renewed war and the triggers for a new conflict, Katz said it could happen if US President Donald Trump deemed the negotiations "to be over" and wanted to resume airstrikes. In addition, Katz said fighting could resume if "Iran attacks us," Ynet reported.

On July 1st, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reacted strongly to remarks by Israeli Defense Minister Katz, who declared that Iran's Supreme Leader had been placed on a target list.

"The terms of the Islamabad Memorandum were very clear and public. The US President committed to restraining Tel Aviv," Araghchi wrote on the X platform on July 1.

Araghchi warned that if Israel does not exercise restraint, "Iran will teach them a lesson." "Any threat to our people and leadership will be met with an immediate and strong response," Araghchi cautioned.
