Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Israel was "not done yet" with its offensive against Iran, saying the attacks have severely weakened the capabilities of the Iranian government, according to a statement from his office on Tuesday.

Speaking during a meeting with Israel's health system leaders on Monday night, Netanyahu reiterated his call for the Iranian people to topple their leadership. He said Israel hopes the Iranian people would ultimately "cast off the yoke of tyranny," but added that such a change would depend on them.

Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Tuesday said that talks with the United States are no longer on Tehran's agenda.

Speaking to the U.S. news outlet PBS, Araghchi emphasized that Iran is prepared to continue its missile operations for as long as necessary, signaling a firm stance against immediate negotiations with Washington following U.S. President Donald Trump's claim that the conflict with Iran would end "very soon."

Israel and the United States launched a joint attack on Iran on February 28, triggering a deadly regional conflict that has spread across the Middle East.
