Netanyahu to EU Leaders: Listen to Trump, It's Time to Support Us – Iran Already Fired at European Countries, Cyprus

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated that it is time for other countries' leaders to join Israel and the United States against Iran as the conflict escalates. Netanyahu stressed that while the international response has been restrained so far, “some are beginning to move in that direction” and more actively support actions against the Iranian regime in order to address the idea of an Iranian nuclear program and Tehran's influence in the Middle East. He specifically addressed European leaders regarding Iran's threats: “Now they have the ability to reach deep into Europe, they have already fired at European countries, Cyprus… They are targeting everyone.” Netanyahu's appeal comes during a period of intense military operations between Israel, the US and Iran, with ongoing air strikes, counter-attacks and broader regional tensions. The international community is closely monitoring developments as the conflicts affect security, energy and geopolitical relations in the region. In a detailed statement, Netanyahu said: “Iran has put the whole planet in danger in the last 48 hours… Iran’s goal is the murder of civilians. They targeted the holy sites of three religions in Jerusalem… They launched a ballistic missile at Diego Garcia Island, which is 4,000 kilometers away. Now they have the ability to reach deep into Europe, they have already fired at European countries, Cyprus… They are targeting everyone. They are trying to blackmail the whole world with the Strait of Hormuz. What proof do you need that this regime that threatens the whole world must be stopped? Israel and the US are working together for the whole world, and it is time to see the leaders of other countries join us. I am glad to say that some are moving in that direction, but more are needed. Donald Trump’s call for the international community to confront this terrorist, fanatic regime of zealots is not only for the security of Israel and the US but for the security of the whole world… It is time for them to act.”
