'If Khamenei stops the fire, we'll accept that': Israel signals readiness to end war with Iran

Less than a day after the US strike, Israel signals it’s open to ending the war; Natanz likely destroyed, with Fordo and Isfahan heavily damaged; Iran’s remaining missile capacity is unclear, and non-military targets may now be on the table

Israeli officials signaled Sunday that the country is prepared to halt its military campaign against Iran if Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ceases hostilities and seeks a resolution to the conflict.
The comments came hours after the U.S. struck Iran's primary nuclear facilities, following more than a week of sustained Israeli attacks on targets across the Islamic Republic. According to Israeli assessments, the American strike caused extensive damage. The Natanz facility is believed to have been destroyed, while those in Fordow and Isfahan suffered serious hits.

Security sources in Israel estimate that hundreds of kilograms of enriched nuclear material were destroyed in the attacks. “If tomorrow Khamenei stops the fire and says he wants to end this — we will accept that,” an Israeli official said.

Despite the initial assessments, Israeli officials stressed that the full impact of the American strike has yet to be independently verified. “The defense establishment believes the Iranians were unable to remove significant quantities of enriched material ahead of the strike,” one official said. “At most, they managed to extract a small amount. The bulk — several hundred kilograms — was destroyed.”


How long should the public brace for this conflict? What does a “prolonged campaign” mean?
“We’ve prepared the public for a prolonged campaign. This doesn’t depend on us — it depends on the Iranians,” officials said. “If Iran drags us into a war of attrition, it will take time. That’s not what we want. We hope to wrap this up soon — ideally this week. But if Khamenei keeps firing, we’ll respond. We can’t absorb without reacting. Our interest is not to prolong this.”

Does Israel have enough interceptors?
“We’re continuing to produce interceptors, and the defense budget has been reinforced,” said officials. “Everything has a shelf life. But the main objective — hitting the nuclear program — has been achieved. The missile platforms and launchers are still being targeted and will continue to be in the coming days.”
What is Israel’s overarching goal — limiting the nuclear program or regime change?
“The primary goal has always been the nuclear program. Regime change was never the objective. Undermining the regime may result from the strikes, but it was never the aim.”


Will Israel settle for damaging the nuclear infrastructure, or seek broader strategic gains?
“If tomorrow Khamenei stops the fire and says he wants to end this — we will accept that.”
Is Israel now expecting a nuclear agreement?
“There’s little to no chance. We don’t see them entering negotiations.”


Is there an understanding between Israel and the U.S. about the ‘day after’?
“For now, we’re watching to see what Khamenei does,” officials said. “If he draws the Americans into the conflict, that’s one scenario. If he only targets Israel, that’s another. Broadly, the U.S. would like to see Iran return to negotiations. But everything hinges on what Khamenei chooses — whether he attacks the U.S., only Israel, agrees to talks or surrenders. We, for our part, don’t want to prolong the campaign.”
Iran targets Israeli civilian centers, while Israel strikes military and governmental targets. Could Israel change that approach?
“We’re not Iran — we don’t target civilians,” officials emphasized. “When they deliberately hit civilians and we don’t, it gives us international legitimacy. We’ve managed to turn Iran into a global problem. From Paris to Rome to New York, the world now understands what could happen if this spreads. We are a democracy, not a dictatorship — and we don’t kill civilians.”


Was Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile destroyed in the U.S. strike?
“We don’t have final confirmation. Even if not all of it was destroyed, we hope 80–90 percent was. It’s still early. We’ll have better verification in the coming days — even if not to the last millimeter.”

How many launchers and missiles does Iran still have?
“We’ve destroyed more than 50 percent of their launchers. Around 200 remain. They still have about 1,500 missiles.”
Is Iran planning retaliatory terror attacks abroad against Israeli or Jewish targets?
“Foreign terror attacks are always a possibility — that’s why we’ve raised our alert level and are making a major effort to prevent them.”
Where are the War Cabinet ministers right now?
“They’re in a secure bunker — and sleeping there. Their families are elsewhere, in undisclosed safe locations. Only the ministers are in the bunker. Even Sara Netanyahu is not staying there.”

All we want is a just and equitable resolution of this issue so that there will not be a repeat aggression on Iran or any other UN member state by USA through her proxy, Israel.


But for President Trump's illegitimate strike on a sovereign state against the UN charter, this would have been a great window for peace.

I doubt if Iran will now listen.

Good

The work is done

Now is the time to give peace a chance

Let me just laugh here because someone is already trying to control his ego

Smh. There's no uranium yet Isreal has been severely battered and billions of US taxpayers funds blown away! I believe that is responsible for the change in narrative.

Many people including President Trump may be jailed eventually in US when the US congress investigates the whole Intel flop. The Democrats will make a political kill from this. They are already calling for the impeachment of Mr Trump again.

Before the iran end the war they should demand resolution for Gaza .UN must recognize the state of Gaza as a sovereign state.

Hmmmm. This may be preceded by the break up of the United Nations Security Council. It's not working at all.

Without un security council solve this problem middle east will continue having problems.

They have lost that bargaining power. The war is now mainly for ego and nothing more. All their threat to Isreal and USA has become mere words. No China, no Russia and no North Korea joining them as boasted by Iran supporters if US strike Iran. No World war III. Religious terrorists over rating their sponsor. Nobody will go into world war because of Iran.

it's all politics, and just as the new German chancellor said, this attacks by Israel and the us is a job they should have done since, .

Those Zi.onist snakes cannot be trusted,they want to buy time.
Trust them at your own peril.

The mission has been accomplished already. Iran's nuclear program has been set back by several decades.

Israel is not built for war. Isreal is built to overwhelm palestinians.

Yeah it's time to stop, all the Isrealis goals have been achieved. No nuclear weapons, IRGC high hierarchies in disarray and many weapon production facilities destroyed plus there is a very high possibility that there will be regime change once the strikes stop.

For those who thinks Trump will be impeached, I said they are being gullible for the 100th time. This will be pushed vaguely by the media to placate the Iranian regime and de-escalate asap.

I told them they were being played when Trump promised 2 weeks, they only reason with their emotions and get dribbled always. Khamenei messed up when he began threatening the U. S bases and cities, giving the POTUS the opportunity to act unilaterally in matters of national security just like any other govt in the world, that's why Tinubu was able to force a military administrator within a democratic setting.

They defend things when it favors but cry wolf when it doesn't, no single logic reasoning, only blind followership. Iran has been denuclearized. Kiss the truth

Iran should fight on, they shouldn't negotiate with them

That's what they don't understand. Even if half of Iran is destroyed, no one would do anything just the way no one did anything when Gaza was levelled. Israel's objectives of halting Iran's nuclear program has been achieved. I'm sure the remaining fissile materials which is 60% enriched isn't safe anywhere else aside the complex built for enrichment. What more, it may even fall into the hands of mossad if the Iranians aren't careful. Rebuilding an enrichment project would take decades and any attempt to enrich to weapon grade would be met with another war as long as Israel is concerned. They're even lucky Trump is a pacifist republican. Otherwise, this war would have lasted until Iran is ruined. They better de-escalate at this time to avoid that.

I guess they have come to realise that they can't stop Iran from doing anything nuclear, shebi if you have detered their Nuclear capabilities what's left to negotiate. You negotiate when you have something to Loose or Gain.
What's obvious was that they knew they can't stand Iran in the long run, America is not willing to join them with their soldiers.
Let's hope Iran agrees to the peace deal, and let the world be at peace again.
