Iran is a regime committed to destroying the US, Netanyahu says
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Fox News on Monday that Iran is the only country in the world that openly seeks the destruction of the United States, adding that Tehran works tirelessly to achieve that goal.
"This is a regime committed to destroying the United States of America. It's the only country on the planet that says so openly and works tirelessly to achieve that goal," Netanyahu said.
"They're totally fanatic about this, about the goal of destroying America. So they started building new sites, new places, underground bunkers that would make their ballistic missile program and their atomic bomb program immune within months if no action was taken now, no action could be taken in the future, and then they could target America, they could blackmail America, they could threaten us and threaten everyone in between," he added.
"So action had to be taken, and you needed a resolute President like Donald J Trump to take that action. And we are his very strong and able partners, and our alliance today is so strong we had to take the action now, and we did otherwise, the Iranian mass murder regime would have immunity from future action," Netanyahu said.
"He (Trump) said to me, right off the bat, I didn't say to him, he said to me, we have to make sure they never get the nukes. And that's what he did. We tried first to take them out in midnight hammer and rising line operation, and we took out their missile sites, but then they started again. their missile and nuclear sites, they didn't learn the lesson he tried to get negotiations he negotiated with them they didn't get it. They tried to string them along. So action had to be taken, and we took it," he added.
