Netanyahu Warns Iran Targets US With Nuclear Weapons

Benjamin Netanyahu warns that Iran is developing intercontinental ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons to target American cities.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned in a Fox News interview that Iran is developing intercontinental ballistic missiles and pursuing nuclear weapons specifically to target American cities. He asserted that while Iran views Israel as the "little Satan," the United States is the regime's ultimate target.

Netanyahu described Iran as a "malevolent power" that operates through Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, which he characterized as the "arms of this toxic octopus." He praised the military and economic pressure applied to Tehran by President Donald Trump and noted that Israel's economy has remained resilient despite three years of war.

Ahead of the October 27 Knesset elections, Netanyahu outlined three primary goals for a potential next term. These include the complete elimination of the Iranian threat, the expansion of the Abraham Accords to include more Arab states, and the establishment of Israel as a global leader in artificial intelligence.
