Iran Israel US War : Benjamin Netanyahu said top Iranian nuclear scientists have been killed in Israeli strikes as the West Asia war entered its 14th day. Speaking at a news conference, the Israeli Prime Minister confirmed that several leading scientists were among those killed during the attacks.
“We did the same regarding the nuclear project – including a mortal blow to senior Iranian scientists. They were the ones who led the development of the nuclear bombs intended to destroy us. They are no longer. And by the way, we hit a few more just now,” said Israel PM said in a post on X.
