Israel and the United States have made “historic gains” in the war against Iran, which began when the allies launched strikes on the Islamic Republic, Prime Minister Benjamin’s Netanyahu’s office says.

“Israel and the United States have together made historic gains to protect our citizens and the civilized world,” a spokesperson for Netanyahu, Shosh Bedrosian, says in a video message.

She also claims the attack was needed as Iran was rebuilding its atomic bomb program in “new underground bunkers,” and because there were indications of an Iranian plans “to attack Israel and American forces in the Middle East.”
