Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a sharp warning to Iran’s Ayatollah regime, asserting that Israel’s reach extends across the Middle East in response to the targeted killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Addressing the UN General Assembly, Netanyahu declared, “There is no place in Iran or the Middle East that the long arm of Israel cannot reach.”
Nasrallah, a key figure in Iran’s “axis of evil,” was eliminated in an Israeli airstrike. Netanyahu emphasized that this decisive action was a necessary measure to prevent further threats against Israel, stating, “If someone rises up to kill you, kill him first.” He accused Nasrallah of orchestrating numerous attacks that claimed the lives of Israelis and foreign nationals, including Americans and French citizens.
Netanyahu framed Nasrallah’s death as a strategic move to alter the region’s balance of power, ensuring the safety of Israeli citizens along the northern border with Lebanon. He also reaffirmed Israel’s commitment to securing the release of hostages and defending the nation from future threats. His message to Iran was unequivocal: any strike against Israel will be met with force.
In his speech, Netanyahu expressed solidarity with those oppressed by Iran’s regime and its allies in Lebanon, Syria, and beyond, assuring them that Israel stands against their dictatorships. The elimination of Nasrallah, according to Netanyahu, advances not only Israel’s security but also the hope for greater stability in the region.
