"We will not be dragged into a war of attrition, but if Iran keeps fighting we'll also keep fighting but in a new kind of war, that's not of attrition, trust me, but it will be a series of small-scale strikes that can go on for as long as it needs to. We're calling it War 2 and it's a thing we created, just like hummus."

Israel Seeks to Wrap Up Fighting With Iran Soon
Updated 2025-06-23 10:28 ET / Original 2025-06-23 09:19 ET
Israel is looking to wrap up its war with Iran soon, Israeli and Arab officials said, capitalizing on the U.S. attack on key nuclear sites to look toward an end to the fighting.
Israel expects to get through its list of military targets in Iran in the coming days, which will create an opening to wrap up the fighting, Israeli officials said. Still, the situation remains dynamic and a lot will depend on Iran’s response.
The U.S. has told Arab officials in the region that Israel is seeking to end the fight soon, Arab officials say, and has asked for the message to be passed along to Iran. Iran has responded that it isn't yet ready to back off, as it feels compelled to respond to the U.S. attack on Iranian nuclear sites, the officials said.
The American strikes on Iran’s three most important nuclear facilities have helped bring Israel closer to its goal of destroying Iran’s nuclear capabilities. Israeli officials say they are now hoping that Iran will come to the negotiating table and agree to end its nuclear enrichment program. Israel is prepared to use the Israeli air force to strike Iran in the future if it sees it is trying to reconstitute, the Israeli officials said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday night that Israel was “very very close” to achieving its goals but didn’t lay out a specific timeline. He said Israel wouldn't be dragged into a war of attrition.
Israel has followed a similar model in Lebanon, where it continues to strike Iran’s ally Hezbollah regularly despite a cease-fire agreement reached in September.
Should Iran continue to attack Israel once it finishes hitting its targets, Israel will also keep fighting.
“They attack, we’ll attack,” an Israeli official said.
Why would anyone do a deal with Israel if they keep attacking you after a ceasefire is signed? Fuck that.

I'm pretty sure continuing to strike Lebanon goes against their cultural principal of 爆弾が好きじゃない
Isn't there somebody they forgot to ask?
Did you think something had happened? Rookie mistake, nothing ever does.
