“There has never been a military that could have done what took place just a little while ago. Hopefully, we no longer need their services in this capacity.”

President Trump also extended full support to Israel’s military campaign against Iran, signaling a unified front with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“I want to thank and congratulate Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu. We worked as a team, like perhaps no team has ever worked before,” Trump said.
Israel’s initial offensive on Iran began on June 13, targeting nuclear facilities in what it described as a preemptive measure to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons—an accusation Iran denies.

The latest U.S.-Iran escalation has further destabilized a region already fraught with conflict. The strikes come amid heightened tensions due to Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza, which began in October 2023.
