  "account": "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed on Thursday that Iran would not acquire nuclear weapons while he remains in office, following US President Donald Trump's statement that Tehran was attempting to rebuild its nuclear capabilities. \"President Trump announced this evening that Iran is trying to arm itself again with nuclear weapons. That is true,\" Netanyahu affirmed. \"After we destroyed its immediate ability to produce nuclear bombs, both during Operation Rising Lion and Operation Roaring Lion, they are trying again.\" Speaking at the Western Wall on the eve of Rosh Hashanah, Netanyahu pledged at the Western Wall ahead of the New Year: \"As long as I am prime minister, Iran will not have nuclear weapons.\" He also announced that the IDF was addressing the Ali Taher Ridge shortly before making the pledge. While Trump never explicitly stated Iran was rebuilding its nuclear arsenal, he did mention noticing \"a little activity at Pickaxe\" and emphasized that the US would strike if it saw any unauthorized activity there. Trump also downplayed the situation as \"small potatoes for us\" and described it as a \"military conflict\" rather than a war.",
