JERUSALEM – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly lauded former U.S. President Donald Trump on June 22, 2025, following U.S.-led strikes on three major Iranian nuclear facilities: Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. Speaking shortly after the operations, Netanyahu described the action as "historic," commending President Trump for his "bold decision to target Iran's nuclear facilities with the awesome and righteous might of the United States." Netanyahu stated, "History will record that President Trump acted to deny the world’s most dangerous regime the world’s most dangerous weapons." He further emphasized the profound significance of the operation, asserting that it "will change history" and contribute to a future of prosperity and peace in the Middle East and beyond. The Prime Minister reiterated the principle of "peace through strength," a concept he frequently discusses with President Trump. He concluded by expressing gratitude, saying, "President Trump, I thank you. The people of Israel thank you. The forces of civilization thank you. God bless America. God bless Israel, and may God bless our unshakable alliance, our unbreakable faith." The strikes mark a significant development in international efforts to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions.
