Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a strong endorsement of US President Donald Trump's military strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, labeling the actions as "historic" and that they "will change history." Netanyahu expressed gratitude towards Trump for his "bold decision" to use American military power against what he described as "the world’s most dangerous regime," emphasizing the need for a military response to ensure peace in the region. He stated, "The forces of civilization thank you," following the announcement of the strikes targeting Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan facilities, which are vital to Iran's nuclear program, according to Le Monde and AA.

Netanyahu remarked on the military action in a video statement, reiterating the principle of "peace through strength" and praising the US as "truly unsurpassed" in its military capacity. He stated, "First comes strength, then comes peace," highlighting his alignment with Trump’s approach to dealing with Iran. The Israeli military responded to the US attacks by raising its alert level, suspending educational activities, and prohibiting non-essential work as a precaution against potential retaliation from Tehran, as noted in reports from India Times and The Jakarta Post.

The US strikes, which involved the deployment of sophisticated bunker-buster bombs, follow a series of Israeli strikes on Iranian positions over the preceding days, marking a significant escalation in tension between the two nations. President Trump confirmed the strikes in a public address, describing them as a successful military operation that demonstrated the US's "awesome and righteous might." He emphasized that this action was not only crucial for Israel's security but was also a significant moment for global peace efforts, according to reports from Al Jazeera and The Jakarta Post.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres voiced serious concerns about the potential for a greater conflict in the region, calling for de-escalation and emphasizing that there is "no military solution" to the ongoing tensions. He stated that the recent attacks would likely lead to further instability and could have catastrophic consequences for civilians, echoing sentiments from various world leaders who oppose the strikes, according to India Times and Le Monde.
