"Everyone should know that Iran poses a very grave threat to the United States and has for a very long time."

(...) After their nuclear program was obliterated, they were told not to restart it but here they are trying to rebuild elements of it. They're not enriching right now but they want to get to the point where they can.

Iran possesses a very large number of ballistic missiles, particularly short range ballistic missiles that threaten the United States and our bases in the region and our partners in the region (...)

Beyond the nuclear program, Iran possesses conventional weapons designed to attack America"

Iran refuses to talk about the ballistic missiles.

That is a big problem.

They are trying to achieve intercontinental ballistic missiles. For example, you’ve seen them try to launch satellites into space.

They are headed on a pathway to one day being able to develop weapons that could reach the continental US.

They already possess weapons that could reach much of Europe, already now as we speak.

They are facing sanctions, their economy is in tatters, their people are suffering, and somehow they still find the money to invest in missiles of greater and greater capacity every year.

This is an unsustainable threat.

In a world where antisemitism is rising, India stands out as a civilization where Jews were never persecuted by the state — only welcomed.

We don't forget that. Thank you, India.

We feel your pain. We share your grief.

India stands with Israel, firmly and with full conviction at this moment and beyond.

There is a great admiration for Israel's resolve, courage and achievements.

Long before we related to each other, as modern states, we were linked by ties that go back more than 2,000 years.
