Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday publicly praised U.S. President Donald Trump for airstrikes on Iran\u2019s nuclear infrastructure, describing the decision as a “historic and courageous move.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a video statement released shortly after the operation, Netanyahu congratulated Trump, saying, \u201cFirst comes power, then peace.\u201d He went on to call the U.S. action a pivotal moment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cCongratulations, President Trump. Your bold decision to target Iran\u2019s nuclear facilities with the awesome and righteous might of the United States will change history.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Netanyahu added that history would remember Trump as the leader who stood firm against what he called “the world\u2019s most dangerous regime” and its pursuit of nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Israeli Channel 14, the two leaders spoke on the phone shortly after the strikes were completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The operation, announced by Trump on Saturday via his Truth Social account, involved coordinated U.S.-Israeli military action against three Iranian nuclear sites: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Reports indicate the U.S. deployed B-2 stealth bombers to deliver six bunker-buster bombs on the heavily fortified Fordow facility, while over 30 Tomahawk cruise missiles were launched from American submarines targeting Natanz and Isfahan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the attacks, the Israeli military raised its nationwide alert level, suspended public education, banned large gatherings, and ordered a halt to non-essential work in anticipation of possible Iranian retaliation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
