Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has praised US President Donald Trump for bombing Iran.

Congratulating Trump for his “bold decision” to take part in his country’s bombing campaign against the Islamic Republic, Netanyahu said “Your bold decision to target Iran’s nuclear facilities with the awesome and righteous might of the United States will change history.”

He added that it had “created a pivot of history that can help lead the Middle East and beyond to a future of prosperity and peace.”

On Saturday night, the US carried out strikes against nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan in what Tehran has condemned as a “grave violation” of international law and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

He described the strikes as “very successful” and warned that Tehran must engage in negotiations or face further military action if it dares to retaliate.
