Netanyahu described Iran's threat to the US during his speech to Congress. "In the heart of the Middle East, standing in Iran's way, is one proud pro-American democracy, my country, the State of Israel!"

He stated that when Israel “acts to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon" that could threaten every American city, "we are not only protecting ourselves, we’re protecting you.”

“If you remember one thing from this speech, remember this: Our enemies are your enemies, our fight is your fight, and our victory will be your victory.”
