Netanyahu: Israel prepared to resume war on Iran, 'our finger is on the trigger'

Israeli Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday (April 8) Israel still had more goals to achieve, warning it was ready to renew fighting at any moment.

He also said during a news conference that enriched Uranium will be removed from Iran either by agreement or by force.

The United States and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire brokered by Pakistan, suspending a six-week-old war that has killed thousands, spread across the Middle East and caused unprecedented disruption to the world's energy supplies.

Earlier on Wednesday Netanyahu's office released a statement saying Israel supports U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to suspend strikes against Iran for two weeks, but said the ceasefire does not include Lebanon.

Israel launched its heaviest strikes yet on Iran-aligned Hezbollah in Lebanon on Wednesday since the fighting started. Lebanon's civil defense service said 254 people had been killed on Wednesday.
