US strike on Iran will ‘change history’ – Netanyahu

The Israeli prime minister has praised US President Donald Trump for bombing Iran.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has praised US President Donald Trump for his “bold decision” to take part in his country’s bombing campaign against Iran.

On Saturday night, the US carried out strikes against facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan in what Tehran has condemned as a “grave violation” of international law and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Netanyahu called the move a turning point that “has created a pivot of history that can help lead the Middle East and beyond to a future of prosperity and peace.”

“Congratulations, President Trump,” Netanyahu said. “Your bold decision to target Iran’s nuclear facilities with the awesome and righteous might of the United States will change history.”

President Trump and I often say: ‘Peace through strength.’

First comes strength, then comes peace.

The United States launched airstrikes late Saturday, hitting at least three Iranian facilities. According to US officials, B‑2 stealth bombers reportedly dropped bunker-busting bombs during the raid on Fordow, while American submarines launched dozens of Tomahawk missiles against Natanz and Isfahan.

President Trump described the strike as “very successful” and warned that Tehran must engage in negotiations or face further military action if it dares to retaliate.
