As the Iran-Israel conflict rages on, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said his country is capable of removing all of Iran’s nuclear facilities, whether or not US President Donald Trump decides to join in.
Netanyahu also said Israel will not wait for a green signal from the United States before it hits Iranian sites, including the underground nuclear site in Fordo.
“We will achieve all our objectives and hit all of their nuclear facilities. We have the capability to do that," Netanyahu said in a Hebrew-language interview with the Kan public broadcaster.
“The matter of changing the regime or the fall of this regime is, first and foremost, a matter for the Iranian people. There is no substitute for this," the Israeli Prime Minister said.
Whether Donald Trump “wants to join or not, that’s entirely his decision," he said.
“He’ll do what is good for the United States, and I’ll do what is good for the State of Israel," Netanyahu said, adding that Israel is not asking for permission, or a “green light" from any foreign power.
Fordo is buried under a mountain and widely considered to be out of reach of all but America’s “bunker-buster" bombs.
