Israel launched a fresh wave of attacks on Iran this morning, a day after president Donald Trump told it not to repeat its strikes on Iranian natural gas infrastructure, which sharply escalated the US-Israeli war on Iran.
Mr Netanyahu said Israel had acted alone in the bombing of the South Pars gas field and confirmed that Mr Trump had asked Israel to hold off on such attacks.
He claimed Tehran was “weaker than ever” as he praised Mr Trump for his co-operation in the US-Israeli war. Iran no longer has the capacity to enrich uranium or make ballistic missiles after 20 days of air attacks, the Israeli prime minister said.
Meanwhile, Mr Trump has suggested he is not planning to send soldiers to the Middle East with his war with Iran heads toward a fourth week. “I’m not putting troops anywhere”, the US president said Thursday when asked whether he was planning to send more service members to the region.
