Jerusalem, Israel - President Herzog on X
Freedom is not preserved by words alone—it demands courage, vigilance, and the resolve to act when necessary.
Every delay of the Iranian nuclear threat, every Iranian missile intercepted, every drone neutralized, helps to defend and protect innocent lives—not only in Israel, but across the region and beyond.
We are deeply grateful to the brave Israeli servicemen and women who carry this burden with courage and resolve.
For decades, the Iranian regime has worked to spread terror, destabilize the region, and attack Jewish communities and other nations—while actively threatening the very existence of the Jewish state through both words and deeds. Its empire of evil proxies, who carried out the October 7 massacre, still hold 53 innocent hostages in Gaza under brutal conditions. We demand their immediate release.
This is a struggle for the safety of the Middle East and the world. This is a battle for a more peaceful future in the Middle East. This is a battle for the values of the free world. Iran must not have nuclear capabilities.
