In a speech before the U.S. Congress, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu openly called for action against Iran, describing it as the main source of terrorism and “chaos” in the Middle East.
Netanyahu urged for an alliance between the U.S., Israel, and its Arab allies, similar to NATO, to confront Iran.
His speech comes amid heightened regional tensions, exacerbated by recent Israeli attacks and accusations that Iran is behind protests against Israel and other acts of violence.
Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to Netanyahu’s statements, labeling him as the “butcher of Tel Aviv” and criticizing U.S. support for Israel.
At the same time, Russia and Iran are in the final stages of negotiating a Comprehensive Cooperation Treaty (CCT), the contents of which remain undisclosed but are expected to escalate tensions with NATO and the Anglosphere. This treaty could be signed at the upcoming BRICS+ summit.
Netanyahu’s strategy may include a possible invasion of Lebanon to confront Hezbollah, aiming to consolidate Israeli control in the region before the Russian-Iranian treaty is signed.
This development marks a significant escalation in Israel’s security policy and could lead to a broader conflict in the Middle East.
