The last days of Netanyahu?


U.S. President Donald Trump announced Saturday that the United States successfully struck three Iranian nuclear facilities at Esfahan, Fordow and Natanz.


Iran confirmed the attacks but said they didn't harm its nuclear efforts because the sites had been evacuated and the materials had previously been removed.


No radioactive traces have been detected in the environment of Iran or other Arab Gulf states following the U.S. military strikes, according to the Saudi Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Commission.
