As tensions between Israel and Iran grow, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed that his country has the ability to destroy Iran's entire nuclear infrastructure, with or without the support of U.S. President Donald Trump. The role of the United States is still not certain.
Spelling out his position firmly, Netanyahu indicated that Israel would not wait for authorization from the United States before striking at Iranian targets such as the well-protected Fordo underground nuclear facility.
"We will do everything that we need to do and strike all of their nuclear sites. We can do that," Netanyahu said in a Hebrew-language interview with Kan, the public broadcaster of Israel.
Discussing the internal political process of Iran, the Prime Minister said, "The issue of regime change or the collapse of this regime is, above all, an issue for the Iranian people. There is no substitute for this."
As for any involvement by the U.S., Netanyahu said it's Trump's choice whether to join or not: "Whether Donald Trump wishes to join or not, that is his decision."
