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