Netanyahu hails US strike on Iran as a game changer

Prime Minister Netanyahu praised President Trump after America bombed Iran's nuclear sites Sunday. Trump ordered warplanes to attack three Iranian facilities that make nuclear materials. Netanyahu called the strikes bold and said they would change history forever. He thanked Trump for using America's military power against Iran's nuclear program. The Israeli leader believes these attacks will bring peace to the Middle East.

Trump announced the bombing on his social media accounts earlier that day. American jets hit the Fordo nuclear plant along with facilities at Natanz and Isfahan. The United States decided to help Israel after Trump thought about joining the fight for several days. Israel and America worked together to plan these strikes against Iranian targets. Trump had spent time considering whether America should get involved.

Israel and Iran have been fighting each other for weeks with bombing attacks. Israel started attacking Iran on June 13 because they said Iran was almost ready to build nuclear weapons. Iran says they are not trying to make nuclear bombs at all. The two countries have been hitting each other back and forth with air strikes. Netanyahu said Trump kept his promise to destroy Iran's nuclear program completely.
