Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly thanked US President Donald Trump for what he described as a "bold decision" to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities, stating the action "will change history."
The statement comes after President Trump disclosed that US military forces successfully attacked three Iranian nuclear sites - Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan - in an overnight operation.
In a video shared on his verified X handle, Netanyahu praised the American action, saying: "Congratulations Trump, your bold decision to target Iran's nuclear facilities with the might of the US will change history."
The Israeli leader highlighted the significance of the military operation, adding, "In Operation Rising Line, Israel has done truly amazing things but tonight's actions against Iran's nuclear facilities, America is being truly unsurpassed."
Historic Action Against 'World's Most Dangerous Regime'
Netanyahu emphasized the unprecedented nature of the American strike, stating, "It has done what no country on earth could do. History will record that Trump acted to deny the world's most dangerous regime weapons."
He further suggested that Trump's leadership "has helped create history that would lead the Middle East and behold to a future of prosperity and peace," concluding that "President Trump acted with a lot of strength."
The bombing has triggered significant international reactions. Reports indicate that Pakistan has nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize following the strikes, while simultaneously, Trump faces potential impeachment proceedings over the attack.
Iranian officials have reportedly downplayed the impact of the strikes, claiming there was "no serious damage" to their nuclear facilities. However, Iran has also stated that the US action "will have everlasting consequences."
Hamas has expressed "full confidence in Iran's ability" in response to the US attack on Tehran, further complicating the already tense situation in the Middle East.
Additional reports suggest that prior to the strikes, Trump and Turkish President Erdogan had sought US-Iran talks, but these efforts were allegedly derailed by Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei's silence on the matter.
