“Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Tehran that there “is no place in Iran that the long arm of Israel cannot reach,” delivering a fiery speech before the United Nations General Assembly as the Jewish state prepares for a ground invasion in Lebanon.
“I have a message for the tyrants of Tehran,” he said. “If you strike us, we will strike you.”
Netanyahu’s speech came as world leaders, including the United States, gathered at the U.N. and attempted to impose an emergency ceasefire on Israel and Hezbollah, which have been locked in the most intense fighting since the 2006 Lebanon war. As Israel capped more than a week of intensive airstrikes on Hezbollah strongholds across Lebanon, Netanyahu said his country will not back down from the fight and will keep striking Hezbollah “until we meet our objectives.”
