Among all the messages that came through in President Donald Trump's address to the Knesset, Israel has particular reason to be concerned about his remarks regarding Iran. As expected, the louder the echoes of the massive success of Operation Midnight Hammer, the strike in which the nuclear facilities in Fordo and Natanz were supposedly "completely destroyed" by heavy bombs dropped from B-2 bombers, the more convinced Trump seems that Iran cannot restart its program.
According to Trump, several sources have already approached him, claiming that Iran is rebuilding its nuclear program, but he simply did not believe them.
