It has been clear that there has been growing tension between Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump over the possibility that Israel would launch an attack on Iran.
Trump has been telling the Israeli leader that he doesn’t want him to do this now and to wait, while the US administration continues nuclear negotiations with the Iranians.
But the Israelis clearly thought that they had their opportunity to act.
They believe that the Iranians are as debilitated as they are going to be in the region after last year’s degradation of Hezbollah in Lebanon – that took away a huge deterrent factor from Israel.
Mixed signals.

#Iran all nuclear facilities are now history!
What #Trump was negotiating with #Iran to not to make atom bombs, #Israel finished all of them in 30 minutes.
If #Isreal falls, entire Europe will fall.
Everybody will be affected.Great job @IDF
