Netanyahu admitted that he underestimated Iran

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted that he underestimated Iran. He stated this on the ABC News channel.

"It's not true in the sense that I said, 'Oh, well, it's guaranteed, we can do it,' and so on," Netanyahu said.

According to him, he always mentioned risks and uncertainties.

"I'm not the only one who noted this. We both agreed, you know, that there is both uncertainty and risk," the prime minister said on this occasion.

Netanyahu evaded a direct answer to the question of the rapid destruction of the Iranian missile program and the certainty that Iran will not be able to block the Strait of Hormuz. He admitted that the problem became more understandable in the course of the conflict, but did not admit that it was initially underestimated.

"I am not sure that she was misunderstood," the prime minister said.

In conclusion, he declared the unpredictability of the war.

"I don't pretend to have perfect foresight, and no one had it. And the Iranians, too," Netanyahu concluded.
