Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed today that Israel and the United States had carried out a joint military operation, dubbed ‘Operation Lion’s Roar’, against Iran, describing the action as necessary to remove what he termed an existential threat posed by the Iranian regime.
In a video message addressed to the nation, Netanyahu said the operation was launched to counter the danger emanating from Tehran. Netanyahu thanked US President Donald Trump for his support and leadership in the operation. The Israeli Prime Minister accused Iran’s leadership of decades of hostility and violence.
Netanyahu said the joint military action was also intended to create an opening for political change within Iran.
