He added, "In terms of the final outcome, it was crucial that we eliminated those who led and promoted the weaponization of the Iranian nuclear program. In addition, we also took some other very important actions during this operation."
Sa'ar also said that regime change in Iran is not currently an official goal of Israel, "the Security Cabinet has not yet determined regime change as the objective of this war, at least not for now". He said, "We have listed the nuclear program, missile program, and targeted killing program as the formal and public objectives of this war."
When asked if these objectives included high-level Iranian leaders such as Supreme Leader Khamenei, Sa'ar refused to comment. He replied, "We never announce in advance what we intend to do."
On June 21 local time, Iranian President Pezeshkian said that Iran has repeatedly shown that it has never sought to produce nuclear weapons, "not now, and not in the future". He added that Iran is prepared to provide guarantees and confidence-building measures within the framework of international law regarding its peaceful nuclear activities, but at the same time, according to international law, it will not give up the right to possess peaceful nuclear capabilities.
