Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has appealed to the US, asking for support in the fight against Iran.
In a video released, addressing the American audience in English, Netanyahu first wished US President Donald Trump a happy birthday.
Then, he pays tribute to American servicemen and women who have “defended freedom” for 250 years. Netanyahu says the Israeli military is “defending freedom” in the Middle East against what he calls a “tyrannical” Iranian regime.
"Our enemy is your enemy. And by doing what we are doing, we are dealing with something that will threaten us all sooner or later," the Israeli prime minister says.
He also says that if Israel had not acted, Iran would have armed its allies – such as Hezbollah and Hamas – with nuclear weapons.
"This is what Israel is doing with the clear support of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, the American people and many others in the world ," Netanyahu added.
The White House initially tried to distance itself from Israel's attack on Iran, but later openly supported it, with Donald Trump calling it "brilliant."
