Netanyahu: I promised Iran’s nuclear sites would be destroyed, and I kept that promise

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he kept his promise from the beginning of Israel’s conflict against Iran that Iran’s nuclear facilities would be destroyed.

In a Hebrew video statement to the Israeli public following the US strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, Netanyahu says the American operation was conducted in “full coordination” with the IDF.

Netanyahu says the US finished the job against Iran’s nuclear sites that was started by the IDF on June 13.

“At the beginning of the operation, I promised you that Iran’s nuclear facilities would be destroyed, one way or another. This promise was kept,” Netanyahu says.

He says that Trump called him immediately after the US operation was finished in order to congratulate him in what was a “very warm and moving conversation.

“He congratulated me, he congratulated our army and he congratulated our people,” Netanyahu says, adding that he did the same.

“President Trump is leading the free world with strength. He is a great friend of Israel, a friend like no other,” the premier continues, thanking Trump profusely.
