America’s bombing of the Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear complexes over the weekend is game-changing. It will transform the immediate conflict between Israel and Iran, postponing, for the time being, the peril posed by Iran’s nuclear programme. But its repercussions will reverberate far beyond that.

Opening the briefing, Netanyahu addressed the casualties of Iran’s recent assault on Israeli cities and those killed during Operation Rising Lion.

The US airstrike on the best-defended Iranian nuclear facility delivered “a great deal of damage,” but the full extent is not yet known, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
