Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that Iran has twice attempted to assassinate US President Donald Trump. Netanyahu said that Israel is “defending freedom in the Middle East and beyond” with its military action against Iran.
“Right now, the Iranian regime is bombing our peaceful areas while we are attacking terrorists. This is not news. They have tried to assassinate President Trump twice. They have bombed American embassies. They killed 241 [American] Marines in Beirut [in 1983]. They have killed and wounded thousands of Americans with their improvised explosive devices in Iraq and Afghanistan. They burn the American flag, they chant ‘Death to America’ endlessly,” Netanyahu said.
He also noted that Israel is attacking Iran with the open support of Trump and the American people.
