Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday praised the US military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, describing them as a turning point for regional stability and a crucial step toward Israel’s broader strategic goals.
In a nationally televised address following the overnight US operation, Netanyahu expressed deep gratitude to US President Donald Trump, saying, "Hats off to my friend Trump for what he did in Iran. Significant damage was dealt to the Fordow reactor thanks to his leadership."
Netanyahu asserted that the Israeli-US operation aimed to eliminate what he called the “Iranian nuclear and ballistic missile threat,” stating, “What we are doing is changing the face of the Middle East. We will do everything necessary to secure Israel's future.”
He further linked the Iran operation to Israel’s ongoing military campaign in Gaza, saying, “The operation in Iran helps achieve the goal in Gaza. I am confident it will contribute to our mission there.”
The prime minister also indicated that Israel has additional military plans ready, should the situation escalate. “We have military plans if further operations are required,” he noted, but added, “When we achieve our goals, we will not continue in an unwanted direction.”
