Netanyahu Praises Trump Iran Strikes: ‘Peace Through Strength’

ISRAEL, JUN 27 – Israel and the U.S. coordinated airstrikes on Iran's key nuclear sites, with Netanyahu declaring the threat neutralized after 12 days of conflict and citing the destruction of ballistic missile capabilities.

  • On June 13, 2025, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, striking key Iranian nuclear and military sites from Jerusalem and joined by US strikes on three nuclear facilities.
  • The operation followed increased threats from Iran, which launched about 200 missiles at Israel last October, intensifying a long-standing conflict and risking an expanded regional war.
  • Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu praised US President Trump for joining the strikes and thanked him in a special prayer at the Western Wall, while opposition leader Lapid supported the attacks as justified.
  • A survey before the strikes showed about 70% of Israelis supported Israel's campaign against Iran, with Netanyahu's coalition gaining broader backing despite internal political tensions and far-right partners' threats.
  • The strikes opened a diplomatic window hopeful for big moves like Saudi normalization, though political challenges remain as Israel balances military success with sensitive diplomacy and a focus on Gaza hostages.
