Washington. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made a big claim amid the war with Iran. He said that Iran has declared US President Donald Trump as its enemy number one and is plotting to assassinate him.
Netanyahu’s claim is gaining strength because Trump on Sunday threatened to take harsh retaliatory action against Iran if it attacked the US.
Netanyahu said, they (Iran) want to kill him (Trump). He is enemy number one. He is a decisive leader. He did not try to bargain in a weak way like others.
He credited Trump with ending the fake deal and killing Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani, claiming that Trump’s tough stance to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons had made him Iran’s top target.
Netanyahu said Trump has made it clear that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons, which means it cannot stockpile uranium.
Netanyahu also revealed that he was targeted after Iran fired a missile at the window of his home.
He has also declared himself Trump’s junior partner in countering Iran’s nuclear ambitions. This situation is causing trouble for Iran.
“Iran is moving toward weaponizing its enriched uranium to make a nuclear bomb. It is expanding its ballistic missile arsenal at a pace of 3,600 a year. No country, especially a country like Israel, can afford such threats,” Netanyahu said.
He said, Israel is not only protecting itself but also protecting the world. They have pushed back Iran’s nuclear program significantly.
Iran, furious with Israel’s attack, had said on Saturday that if any country supports Israel, its regional military bases will be attacked. This threat was given directly to America.
After this, President Trump threatened Iran and said that if Iran attacks America, then its soldiers will attack it with full force. This will be an attack that Iran would have never thought of.
On Friday, June 13, Israel targeted nuclear sites and military installations in Iran’s capital Tehran, in which many nuclear scientists including the army chief and the head of the Revolutionary Guards were killed.
After this, Iran also carried out massive missile attacks in many cities of Israel including Tel Aviv.
So far 224 people have been reported dead in Iran, while 13 people have died in Israel. Attacks are continuing from both sides.
