Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked former U.S. President Donald Trump for backing Israel during the war with Iran. “He’s a true friend of Israel,” Netanyahu said during a visit to Soroka Medical Centre, damaged in an Iranian missile strike. Iran has fired over 450 missiles and 1,000 drones, using warheads that split mid-air. “The U.S. is already helping a lot... protecting our skies,” Netanyahu told CNN. Israel struck back at Iranian targets. Russia warned against hitting Iran’s nuclear plant. Iran’s foreign minister said, “We won’t talk until Israel stops attacks,” but may show flexibility if the U.S. pushes for peace. (PC: NDTV)
