UN General Assembly: Netanyahu defends attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended his country's actions against Iran at the UN General Debate in New York. He stated that destroying Iran's nuclear facilities was a difficult but easy decision for him, as it prevented Israel's destruction. Netanyahu claimed that Iran's goal was to develop atomic bombs targeting Israel and threatening the world.

The impact of these actions on Iran's nuclear program is evaluated differently by experts and the International Atomic Energy Agency. Netanyahu's speech comes ahead of Israel's parliamentary election on October 27.
