US strike on Iran will ‘change history’ – Netanyahu

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

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has praised US President Donald Trump for his “bold decision” to join the Israeli bombing campaign against Iran.

In a video address posted Saturday night, after the US carried out strikes against facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, 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.
