In the last 48 hours, Iran targeted a civilian area. They're doing that as a mass murder weapon. Luckily, no one was killed, but that's due to luck, not their intention. Their intention is to murder civilians.”02‘Iran now has capacity to reach deep into Europe’Netanyahu said that Iran fired an intercontinental ballistic missile on Diego Garcia, which is the largest island in Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean.“That's 4,000 kilometers. I've been warning all the time. They now have the capacity to reach deep into Europe. They have already fired on European countries, Cyprus. They are putting everyone in their sights.”03‘Iran blackmailing entire world through Strait of Hormuz’Netanyahu, while visiting the Arad site on Sunday, said that Iran is essentially “blackmailing” the entire world by choking a maritime international energy route, the Strait of Hormuz.04‘World leaders should join efforts against Iran’Netanyahu said that Israel and the United States are “working for the entire world” and called on the “leaders of the rest of the countries to join up” in the war against Iran.“I'm happy to say that I can see some of them beginning to move in that direction, but more is needed,” he added.AdvertisementLoading Recommendations...
