Netanyahu Claims Iran Plotted to Kill Trump, Behind Assassination Attempts

Assassination Attempts: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that Iran’s Islamic regime had plotted to assassinate US President Donald Trump, calling him "enemy number one." He praised Trump’s aggressive confrontation of Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

"They want to kill him. He’s enemy number one. He’s a decisive leader. He never took the path that others took to try to bargain with them in a way that is weak,” said Netanyahu to Fox News’ Bret Baier.

Netanyahu said, “These people who chant ‘Death to America’, tried to assassinated President Trump twice."

Do you want these people to have nuclear weapons and means to deliver them to your cities?” the Israeli PM asked.

"He's a decisive leader. He never took the path that others took to try to bargain with them in a way that is weak, giving them basically a pathway to enrich uranium, which means a pathway to the bomb, padding it with billions and billions of dollars," Netanyahu said.

"He took up this fake agreement and basically tore it up. He killed Qasem Soleimani. He made it very clear, including now, 'You cannot have a nuclear weapon, which means you cannot enrich uranium.' He's been very forceful, so for them, he's enemy number one," Fox News quoted Netanyahu as saying.

Netanyahu declared that Israel was not only defending itself but also protecting the world. He said that the recent offensive had set back Iran’s nuclear program “quite a bit,” and dismissed the viability of future negotiations.

Despite Iran's retaliation with a major ballistic missile barrage targeting Israeli cities, most of which were intercepted, Netanyahu said that his country is prepared to do whatever is necessary to eliminate the nuclear and ballistic missile threat Iran poses to the world.

Netanyahu has described the operation, coined as Operation Rising Lion, as "one of the greatest military operations in history." Addressing the Iranian people, he said they had been oppressed for 50 years by the same Islamic regime that has long threatened to destroy the State of Israel.
