US President Donald Trump coordinated closely with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in planning the American airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend, Netanyahu said on Sunday.

In a statement issued hours after American B-2 bombers hit the Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities in Iran, Netanyahu touted the “unprecedented accomplishments” of Israel’s air campaign against Iran, dubbed Operation Rising Lion.

“You remember that from the beginning of the operation, I promised you that Iran’s nuclear facilities would be destroyed — one way or another. That promise has been fulfilled,” Netanyahu said.

“A short time ago, in full coordination between myself and President Trump, and in complete operational coordination between the IDF and the US military, the United States struck Iran’s three nuclear facilities: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.”

America, the prime minister said, “powerfully and forcefully continued” Israel’s efforts, conducted both in the air and on the ground, to destroy Iran’s nuclear program.

“This program threatened our very existence, and it also endangered the peace of the entire world.”

Trump, Netanyahu continued, contacted the Israeli premier after the strikes, which were conducted before dawn on Sunday morning, Israel time.

“Immediately after the operation was completed, President Trump called me. It was a very warm, very moving conversation. He congratulated me, he praised our army, and he saluted our people. And I congratulated him, the US pilots, and the American people.”

Netanyahu laud Trump as “bravely leading the free world,” and called him a “tremendous friend of Israel — an ally like no other.”

“We stand together, We fight together, And with God’s help — we will win together.”
