Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent a warm birthday greeting to US President Donald Trump on Saturday. In a post on X, he also appreciated him as a staunch ally as Israel continued to bombard its arch-foe Iran.

“Happy Birthday to you, President Donald J. Trump. You’ve been an extraordinary leader, decisive, courageous, with a clear vision and clear action. You have done great things for Israel," wrote Netanyahu in a post on X.

“Our enemy is your enemy and by doing what we’re doing, we’re dealing with something that will threaten all of us sooner or later. Our victory will be your victory," Netanyahu said.

In the statement, Netanyahu also defended Israeli attack on Iran and said that by taking preemptive action, Israel had averted a global disaster. According to him, intelligence had revealed that the Iranian regime was planning to supply nuclear weapons to its “terrorist allies".

“I’ll tell you what would have come if we hadn’t acted. We had information that this unscrupulous regime was planning to give the nuclear weapons that they would develop to their terrorist proxies. That’s nuclear terrorism on steroids. That would threaten the entire world," he said.

“This is what Israel is doing with the support, the clear support of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, and the American people and many others in the world. So, with God’s help and with the goodwill and resolution of all free societies, we shall win," added the Israeli PM.

Before extending greetings to Trump, Netanyahu has warned Tehran and vowed Israeli jets will soon fly over Tehran.

“In the very near future, you will see Israeli planes, the Israeli Air Force, our pilots above the sky of Tehran. We will hit with every place, every site, every target of the Ayotallah’s regime," he said.
