Trump utilized his Truth Social platform to frame the ongoing war as a collaborative effort, crediting Netanyahu for operations that allegedly crippled Iran’s military infrastructure and economy. He specifically touted the success of 'Operation Epic Fury' and a naval blockade, which he claimed pushed Iran’s inflation to 301 percent while neutralizing key leadership figures. Trump insisted that the goal of ending anti-American and anti-Israeli rhetoric is within reach, provided the current leadership remains in power.
This endorsement arrives during a period of friction between Washington and Jerusalem. While the two leaders have historically aligned on aggressive policies—including the controversial relocation of the US embassy to Jerusalem—their relationship has suffered from reported frustrations regarding the pace of the conflict. The recent collapse of a short-lived ceasefire, which Israel feared would compromise its security, further complicated the diplomatic landscape. Despite internal criticism from figures like Vice President JD Vance, who has urged Israel to align more closely with broader US policy, Trump remains committed to his long-standing alliance with Netanyahu.
