Netanyahu Thanked Trump For The US’ “Awesome” Airstrikes On Iran’s Nuclear Facilities

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked US president Donald Trump for bombing three key nuclear facilities in Iran and joining Israel in its war.

Trump had announced on Sunday, June 22, that the US had carried out airstrikes on Iran’s most significant uranium enrichment centers, the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant, Natanz Nuclear Facility and a site in Isfahan, marking a major escalation in the ongoing war between Iran and Israel. 

The move came after Israel launched a large-scale, unprovoked attack on Iran’s nuclear and military facilities on June 13, claiming that Iran was close to developing a nuclear weapon.

The two countries have been exchanging various attacks since.

Speaking on Sunday, Netanyahu thanked Trump for the US strikes, calling it a “bold decision,” adding that although Israel has done great things, the US strikes have been “truly unsurpassed.”

“History will record that President Trump acted to deny the world’s most dangerous regime the world’s most dangerous weapons,” Netanyahu said.

Israeli officials confirmed they were in "full coordination" with the US regarding the planning and timing of the attacks, which both countries claim were to stop the nuclear threat posed by Iran.

Iranian authorities have condemned the strikes as violations of international law and the UN Charter, warning of "everlasting consequences" and vowing to consider all options to defend their sovereignty.

Iran has significantly expanded its uranium enrichment capabilities, but it does not currently possess nuclear weapons.

Meanwhile, the US is one of the five recognized nuclear powers and maintains a large nuclear arsenal with about 5,177 nuclear warheads as of 2025, being the only country that has ever used nuclear weapons in a war.

It is believed that Israel also possesses approximately 90 nuclear weapons, although it has not officially confirmed it, according to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons.
