Iran's FM threatens Trump after endorsement of Netanyahu: 'Be our guest'

US President Donald Trump has issued a "complete and total" endorsement of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu via Truth Social, urging Israelis to vote for Netanyahu and the Likud party in the upcoming October 27 parliamentary election. Trump described Netanyahu as a "Great Warrior Prime Minister" and a "Partner for Peace," noting his role in the war against Iran that began in February.

Trump stated that if Israel elects anyone other than Netanyahu, the United States would have to undertake the work of the conflict alone.

Netanyahu responded on X by thanking the US leader for his support and stating that the two would complete the mission together. Arutz Sheva - Israel National News reported that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned Trump following the endorsement, accusing the Prime Minister of seeking another war.

While Trump's endorsement follows recent criticism where he labeled Netanyahu "crazy," DW English (Top Stories) notes that opinion polls suggest neither Netanyahu nor the opposition is currently projected to secure the 61 seats required to form a coalition. According to the Jerusalem Post, Netanyahu's campaign team released a clip highlighting past praise from Trump shortly after the post was made, though some pundits criticized the move as election interference.
