Netanyahu pointed to the rapid development of Iran's defense without US interference.

Without the intervention of the United States and Israel, Iran's nuclear program could have been invulnerable to bombing for several months.

"They started building new facilities, new locations, underground bunkers that would make their ballistic missile and atomic bomb program invulnerable for months. If no measures were taken now, there would be no opportunity to act in the future," Netanyahu said.

He stressed that a strong leader was needed to solve this problem, which was US President Donald Trump.
