Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claims Iran will not pursue nuclear weapons following U.S. and Israeli strikes, stating Tehran is afraid after feeling "the might of America and Israel."

A senior Israeli official told The New York Times on Thursday that some of Iran’s highly enriched uranium stockpiles likely survived the recent United States and Israeli strikes on Tehran’s nuclear facilities — and may still be accessible to Iranian nuclear scientists.

The visit marked a rare moment of overt praise from the Israeli leader, who thanked the United States for standing "shoulder to shoulder" with Israel in what he called a show of decisive strength aimed at preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
