President Trump’s decision to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities will “change history,” Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said early Sunday.
“Congratulations President Trump, your bold decision to target Iran’s nuclear facilities with the awesome and righteous might of the United States will change history,” Netanyahu said in a video statement.
“In Operation Rising Lion, Israel has done truly amazing things, but in tonight’s action against Iran’s nuclear facilities America has been truly unsurpassed. It has done what no other country on Earth could do,” he went on.
Netanyahu speaks during a press conference in Jerusalem, May 21, 2025. AP“History will record that President Trump acted to deny the world’s most dangerous regime the world’s most dangerous weapons,” he added.
“His leadership today has created a pivot of history that can help lead the Middle East and beyond to a future of prosperity and peace.”
B-2 bombers eliminated three key uranium enrichment facilities at Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan on Saturday in a surprise strike after more than a week of bombing from Israel had decimated Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
