'Congratulations, Trump': Netanyahu praises US attack

"Congratulations, President Trump. Your bold decision to target Iran's nuclear facilities with the awesome might of the United States will change history. In Operation Rising Line, Israel has done truly amazing things," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday.

"But in tonight's action against Iran's nuclear facilities, America has been truly unsurpassed. It has done what no other country on earth could do. History will record that President Trump acted to deny the world's most dangerous regime the world's most dangerous weapons," he added.

"His leadership today has created a pivot of history that can help lead the Middle East and beyond to a future of prosperity and peace. President Trump and I often say, peace through strength. First comes strength, then comes peace."
