Iran tried to assassinate the President of the United States of America twice Donald Trump This statement was made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

"Now the Iranian regime is bombing our civilian neighborhoods while we are targeting terrorists. This is not news. They tried to assassinate President Trump twice. They bombed American embassies. They killed 241 Marines in Beirut. They killed and wounded thousands of Americans with their improvised explosive devices in Iraq and Afghanistan. They burn the American flag, they endlessly chant 'death to America.' Our enemy is your enemy. And in doing what we are doing, we are dealing with something that will sooner or later threaten all of us. Our victory will be your victory," Netanyahu said in video message.

The Israeli prime minister stressed that his country defends freedom in the Middle East and beyond. In particular, he said, Israel defends Europe.

"We are doing this against the tyrannical and radical Iranian regime, which wants to create nuclear bombs to destroy us, and wants to create ballistic missiles, including intercontinental ballistic missiles, to be able to threaten anyone and anywhere in the world. By defending ourselves, we are also defending others. We are defending our Arab neighbors, our Arab friends in peace, we are defending Europe, we are also helping to defend the United States, which has always helped us in our defense. This is an important mission," Netanyahu added.

He also announced an operation by Israeli pilots in the skies over Tehran. According to the prime minister, the pilots will"deal blows to the Ayatollah's regime that they cannot even imagine."

"I can tell you that we have indications that Iran's top leaders are already packing their bags. They sense it's coming. I'll tell you what could happen if we don't act. We had information that this unscrupulous regime was planning to transfer the nuclear weapons it was developing to its terrorist puppets. This is nuclear terrorism on steroids. This would threaten the entire world," he concluded.

It is worth noting that in this address, Netanyahu also congratulated Donald Trump on his birthday and the American army on its 250th anniversary.
