Jerusalem: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that Israel is "very close" to completing its objectives after inflicting major damage to Iran's nuclear facilities and missile programs, say news reports.
Netanyahu ruled out a war of attrition but said operations will not stop until all goals are met.
In a pre-recorded press conference, Netanyahu revealed that Israel is tracking 400 kg of Iran's 60 per cent enriched uranium. He claimed that Israel has "interesting intel" on its whereabouts but declined to go into detail.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced Saturday that the United States successfully struck three Iranian nuclear facilities at Esfahan, Fordow and Natanz.
Iran confirmed the attacks but said they didn't harm its nuclear efforts because the sites had been evacuated and the materials had previously been removed.
No radioactive traces have been detected in the environment of Iran or other Arab Gulf states following the U.S. military strikes, according to the Saudi Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Commission.
Addressing the nation on Saturday evening, Trump said that Iran's key nuclear facilities had been"completely and totally obliterated," and that future attacks will be "far greater and a lot easier.
"If peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill. Most of them can be taken out in a matter of minutes," he said.

"Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear capacity," he said, calling the bombing a "spectacular" success.
Trump said that he decided a long time ago not to let Iran gain a nuclear weapon and that without peace, there will be "tragedy" for Iran that will far exceed what's taken place.
Top US military leaders will hold a news conference at 8:00 am (1200 GMT) Sunday morning, he said.
Meanwhile, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Saturday that US strikes on Iran's nuclear sites are "a dangerous escalation" and "a direct threat to international peace and security.
"I am gravely alarmed by the use of force by the United States against Iran today. This is a dangerous escalation in a region already on the edge -- and a direct threat to international peace and security," said Guterres in a statement.
