Asked whether Israel can destroy the underground Fordo facility without assistance from the United States, Netanyahu said, “We will achieve all our objectives and hit all of their nuclear facilities. We have the capability to do that.”
Fordo is buried under a mountain and widely considered to be out of reach of all but America’s “bunker-buster” bombs.
Earlier Thursday, an Israeli official told The Times of Israel that Israel expects the US will decide on whether or not to join the offensive against Iran within the next 24-48 hours, though a White House spokesperson later said Trump would decide “within two weeks.”
Whether US President Donald Trump “wants to join or not — that’s entirely his decision,” Netanyahu added.
84% chance that the US will strike Iran this weekend.
