Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel’s military campaign aims to stop Iran from moving key nuclear and ballistic missile projects underground.

Speaking during the ongoing conflict, Netanyahu said Israeli strikes are targeting Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, missile systems and leadership networks in an effort to prevent Tehran from relocating sensitive projects to deeply buried facilities that would be harder to destroy.

Netanyahu has argued that allowing Iran to shift nuclear work underground would make the programme far more difficult to target militarily. Israel has carried out multiple strikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites as part of its broader campaign against Tehran’s nuclear and missile capabilities.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel’s military campaign against Iran could help bring about regime change in Tehran.

He added that weakening the regime could create conditions for Iranians to challenge their leadership.

His remarks come as the conflict between Israel, Iran and allied groups continues to escalate across the Middle East.

The disruption of shipping and energy supplies linked to the Strait of Hormuz crisis is beginning to impact several industries in India, including glass manufacturing. The sector relies heavily on continuous fuel supply because glass furnaces must remain operational around the clock.

Industry executives say furnace operations cannot simply be stopped, as shutting them down risks major technical damage and significant financial losses. Glass plants require constant heat to maintain production, making them especially vulnerable to fuel shortages and supply disruptions.

The crisis around the Strait of Hormuz has already triggered wider economic ripple effects across India, with industries facing rising energy costs and supply pressures as shipping traffic through the key energy corridor declines.
