On Sunday, Netanyahu told a news conference with visiting US Secretary of State Marco Rubio that Israel would "finish the job" against Iran with the support of the United States, its top ally.
Netanyahu also said Israel had "dealt a mighty blow to Iran's terror axis" during the past 16 months.
US President Donald Trump, who returned to the White House in January, has reinstated a "maximum pressure" policy against Iran, mirroring his approach during his first term.

Iran has repeatedly denied these allegations, though it has scaled back its commitments under the agreement and increased uranium enrichment levels to 60 percent.
On Sunday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Iran would never become a nuclear power, labelling the Islamic republic the "greatest" source of instability in the Middle East.
Baqaei on Monday said Iran's nuclear activities comply with the safeguards protocol of the UN nuclear agency and emphasised Tehran's commitment to the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
