ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – In a televised statement delivered early Sunday, Israeli Foreign Minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated U.S. President Donald Trump on what he described as a decisive and history-altering military operation targeting Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, declaring it a moment that would echo in the annals of global diplomacy and security.

“Congratulations, President Trump,” Netanyahu began. “Your bold decision to target Iran’s nuclear facilities with the awesome and righteous might of the United States will change history.”

The Israeli foreign minister praised Washington’s execution of “Operation Rising Line,” calling it a military action of unmatched precision and scale. “Israel has done truly amazing things,” he said. “But in tonight’s action against Iran’s nuclear facilities, America has been truly unsurpassed. It has done what no other country on Earth could do.”

‘Peace Through Strength’ Doctrine Reaffirmed

Netanyahu emphasized that the strike not only delivered a strategic blow to Iran’s nuclear ambitions but also reaffirmed a shared doctrine between the two allied nations: peace through strength.

“History will record that President Trump acted to deny the world’s most dangerous regime the world’s most dangerous weapons,” he declared. “His leadership today has created a pivot of history that can help lead the Middle East and beyond to a future of prosperity and peace.”

The Israeli official reiterated that strength must precede peace. “President Trump and I often say peace through strength. First comes strength, then comes peace. And tonight, President Trump and the United States acted with a lot of strength.”

‘An Unshakable Alliance’

In closing, Netanyahu expressed gratitude to Trump and the American people. “President Trump, I thank you. The people of Israel thank you. The forces of civilization thank you.”

“God bless America. God bless Israel. And may God bless our unshakable alliance, our unbreakable faith,” he concluded.
