He added:“In tonight’s operation against Iran’s nuclear facilities, the United States was unrivaled. It did what no other country on Earth could have done.”
“I congratulate President Trump for his bold decision,” Netanyahu continued.

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

The Israeli Prime Minister also said that he had fulfilled his promise to destroy Iran’s nuclear program, noting that the U.S. airstrike early Sunday was carried out in full coordination with Israel.“From the start of the war with Iran, launched by Israel on June 13, I promised to destroy Iran’s nuclear sites one way or another,” Netanyahu said. “That promise has been fulfilled.”
On early Sunday, the United States officially joined Israel’s war against Iran, with President Trump announcing a “highly successful” attack on three of Iran’s most critical nuclear sites: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated that American aircraft dropped a full payload of bombs on those sites before safely exiting Iranian airspace.
He concluded:“Now is the time for peace. Thank you for your attention.”
