Restating his objectives as destroying Iran's nuclear and missile capabilities, Netanyahu told a press conference that "we are moving step by step towards achieving these goals, we are very, very close to completing them."

He added that "when they have been reached, the operation will finish".

Israel launched large-scale attacks on Iran on June 13 targeting its missile and nuclear facilities, as well as military leaders and security services.

The United States struck three nuclear sites in Iran overnight with massive bunker-busting bombs after days of speculation as to whether it would join Israel's campaign.

US President Donald Trump said Iran's nuclear enrichment sites had been "totally obliterated."

Israel's airforce continued to strike Iran Sunday, with the military saying it had hit "dozens" of targets including launch sites used to fire daily barrages of missiles at Israeli cities.

Another wave of attacks was announced on Sunday evening on Tehran and the west of the country.
