Netanyahu Warns Tehran of Strong Response Ahead of Israeli Elections

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned Tehran of a strong response as he seeks voter support ahead of elections scheduled for October 27.

Netanyahu urged voters to give him the opportunity to complete what he describes as the mission to which he has devoted his political life: confronting the Iran issue.

His appeal links his bid for a renewed mandate to Iran, presenting the issue as unfinished work that he wants more time in office to pursue.

The warning and electoral appeal put Iran at the centre of his message to voters. No details were provided about the nature of the threatened response or the steps Netanyahu intends to take.
