Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed Sunday that U.S. military strikes targeting three Iranian nuclear facilities were conducted in "full coordination" with Israel, marking a significant development in Middle Eastern geopolitics.
In a Hebrew-language video address following the attacks, Netanyahu praised U.S. President Donald Trump's "bold decision" to strike facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan — key sites in Iran's nuclear program. The Israeli leader described the operation as a "very successful attack" with potential historical implications for regional security.
The announcement comes after Trump confirmed the strikes via his Truth Social platform on Saturday, emphasizing Washington's proactive stance against Iran's nuclear ambitions. Analysts suggest this coordinated action signals strengthened bilateral security cooperation amid ongoing tensions in the Persian Gulf region.
While Tehran has yet to issue an official response, the strikes raise questions about potential escalations in one of the world's most strategically vital energy corridors. Market observers are monitoring oil prices and shipping security in the Strait of Hormuz following the developments.
