Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that there is "work to be done" in Iran, indicating that the war is not yet over, according to CNN and CBS News.
Netanyahu says the joint US-Israeli campaign against Iran "accomplished a great deal, but it's not over."
In particular, he said Iran has not abandoned enriched uranium, has not dismantled its nuclear facilities, has not stopped supporting its regional proxies, and has not agreed to any restrictions on its ballistic missile program.
"Now, we've degraded a lot of it. But all that is still there, and there's work to be done," the Israeli prime minister said.
When asked how to deal with highly enriched uranium, which remains a key issue in negotiations, Netanyahu said it could be physically removed from Iran.
At the same time, he declined to give any timeline for removing the enriched uranium, calling it a "terrifically important mission."
Middle East war
A few weeks ago, Netanyahu also said that US-Israeli efforts against Iran were not yet complete and that new developments could occur at any time.
In early May, US President Donald Trump sent a letter to Congress announcing the end of the war in Iran. However, in a recent interview, he said Iran has been defeated, but the war is not over, and the United States has potential targets.
Despite this, The Wall Street Journal reported that the United States and Iran could resume talks in Pakistan as early as next week.
