On the evening of the 10th local time, reporters from the Central Station learned from Israeli sources that Prime Minister Netanyahu will provide U.S. President Trump with new intelligence regarding Iran's military capabilities during his visit to the U.S., particularly concerning Iran's restoration of its ballistic missile capabilities.

The Israeli side stated that if there is no intervention in Iran, Iran will have up to 2,000 ballistic missiles within a few weeks or months.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghaei stated on the 10th that the root of the so-called "artificially created crisis" surrounding Iran's peaceful nuclear program lies with Israel. He noted that for nearly 40 years, Israel has repeatedly claimed that Iran is seeking nuclear weapons, attempting to create "imaginary fears" in the international community. He emphasized that the so-called "Iranian nuclear bomb" does not exist. (Reporter Zhao Bing from the Central Station)
