Netanyahu Warns Iran of an Unimaginable Blow if It Attacks Israel

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned at a Rosh Hashanah toast during Sunday’s cabinet meeting that Iran would suffer a blow beyond its imagination if it attacks Israel. He said Iran currently holds back because it understands Israel’s strength, and told Israel’s enemies not to test it. Netanyahu credited Israeli decisions, soldiers and public resilience for weakening Israel’s enemies, and said Israel and the United States had pushed back nuclear and ballistic-missile threats. He described toppling Iran’s regime as Israel’s foremost unfinished mission, saying completing it would permanently change the Middle East and Jewish history.
