Netanyahu Leads Five-Hour Security Meeting as US Strikes Hit Iranian Nuclear Sites

Report by “Safarti Tarjuman” International News Desk

TEL AVIV — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu chaired an extensive five-hour security cabinet meeting as the United States carried out precision airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites, a senior government source confirmed Sunday.

The meeting began at 10 p.m. local time on Saturday and continued into the early hours of Sunday, ending shortly after the US strikes concluded at around 3 a.m. The extended session was reportedly convened to monitor and coordinate Israel’s strategic posture during the operation.

A second source corroborated that the meeting focused on overseeing developments as US stealth bombers targeted Iran’s nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.

The emergency session included Netanyahu’s closest advisers and top national security figures:

• Ron Dermer, a senior confidant of Netanyahu
• Defense Minister Israel Katz
• Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar
• Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff
• Mossad Director
• National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir
• Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich

This unified gathering of political, military, and intelligence leadership underscores Israel’s vested interest in the evolving confrontation with Iran.

The high-level Israeli meeting ran parallel to the American military operation, highlighting the depth of coordination between Washington and Tel Aviv in confronting Tehran’s nuclear ambitions. While Israel has carried out a series of attacks on Iranian defense and nuclear infrastructure in recent weeks, the direct involvement of the United States marks a new and dangerous phase in regional tensions.

Netanyahu, expected to make a full statement later, is likely to emphasize Israel’s readiness to defend its security and the importance of global pressure on Iran to halt its nuclear program.
