Twenty-four hours later, Israel began attacking Iran. In one instant, Netanyahu’s political problems were swept away. No more ultra-Orthodox parties complaining about the military draft or far-right parties shouting about praying in the al-Aqsa compound. “The cards are in his hands. If they weren’t a week ago, they are now,” said the official.

The Israeli leader said U.S. homeland could be next on Tehran's targets and criticized U.S. far-right though he was appreciative of Trump's support.

An investigation by The Associated Press earlier this year uncovered that the Israeli military uses U.S.-made AI models in war to sift through intelligence and intercept communications to learn the movements of its enemies. It’s been used in the wars with Hamas in Gaza and with Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will sit down for an interview airing Sunday with Fox News anchor Bret Baier, his first since Israel's strikes on Iran.

Trump calls for Iran's 'unconditional surrender', tells Tehran to evacuate as air war rages on. Israel plans to destroy Fordow nuclear site.

President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke by telephone on Tuesday, a White House official said. The official didn't provide details about the conversation.

As Israel escalates strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, fears grow that the conflict could spill over into a global war. With the US cautious, Russia posturing, and regional powers on edge, the Israel-Iran clash has sparked heated debate over whether World War III has begun.

"We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran," Trump posted on Tuesday, making clear the U.S. and Israel were now in lockstep on the Israeli military operation that the U.S. didn't initially back. "Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA," he added.
