Israel's President Isaac Herzog declined to provide a specific timeline for ending the conflict with Iran during a recent interview. Herzog emphasized that the focus should be on achieving decisive results rather than rushing to meet deadlines.
Israeli President Isaac Herzog declined to provide a specific timeline for concluding hostilities with Iran during a Tuesday interview with German publication Bild, stating instead: “We need to take a deep breath and get to the end result.”
In his remarks, Herzog characterized the combined American and Israeli military operations against Iran as fundamentally reshaping Middle Eastern dynamics. He justified targeting Iranian oil infrastructure as a strategy to deprive Tehran’s “war machine” of crucial funding.
The interview appeared in print as American and Israeli forces launched what Pentagon officials and witnesses in Iran described as the most devastating aerial bombardment campaign of the ongoing conflict, even as international financial markets anticipate President Donald Trump may pursue a swift resolution to the hostilities.
Earlier, Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Saar had indicated his nation does not intend to engage in prolonged warfare and is coordinating with Washington regarding the appropriate time to cease operations.
“The Iranians are the ones spreading chaos and terror throughout the region and the world. So I think if we measure everything by a speedometer, we won’t get anywhere. We need to take a deep breath and get to the end result,” Herzog stated to Bild.
Removing the Iranian threat would “enable the entire system in the region to suddenly breathe again and develop further. That’s fantastic,” he concluded.
