Netanyahu Vows Strong Response to Tehran Ahead of Israeli Election

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pledged a strong response to Tehran as the country approaches elections scheduled for October 27.

Netanyahu appealed to voters to give him the opportunity to complete what he regards as the defining mission of his political career: confronting the challenge posed by Iran.

His appeal placed the Iran issue at the centre of his case for continued leadership, linking his electoral ambitions to a task he described as unfinished.

The warning to Tehran accompanied that message to voters, bringing together his campaign for another mandate and his long-standing focus on Iran.
