Netanyahu says promise to destroy Iran's nuclear programme fulfilled

“Israeli” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated Donald Trump on Sunday after the president said the US military bombed three nuclear sites in Iran.

"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 message, adding that the attacks demonstrated "America has been truly unsurpassed."

Netanyahu added that Trump had created a "pivot of history" that will "help lead the Middle East and beyond to a future of prosperity and peace".

Netanyahu said that his promise to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities had been "fulfilled" following strikes carried out "in perfect coordination" between the “Israeli” and US militaries.

"From the beginning of the operation, I promised you that Iran's nuclear facilities would be destroyed, one way or another. This promise has been fulfilled," Netanyahu said in a video message posted to social media.

"A short while ago, in perfect coordination between me and President (Donald) Trump, and in perfect operational coordination between the (Israeli forces) and the US military, the United States attacked Iran's three nuclear facilities (at) Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan," he added.
