Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich:
Trump removed 100% of the economic pressure on Americans, while only about 20% of the economic pressure on Iran was eased.
Today, we are only a decision by the political leadership away. Within three or four hours, the Israeli Air Force can operate deep inside Iran.
That's something that has never existed before. It creates a very significant level of deterrence.
As long as we make sure Iran doesn't rebuild its capabilities, that's good, but we must not let it confuse us.
We also must not accept a reality of repeated rounds of fighting with Iran. That's not why we came here.
And even more than that, I refuse to accept a reality where we bury our heads in the sand, enjoy an artificial calm, and then wake up ten years from now facing a nuclear Iran with 20,000 missiles aimed at us.
