Part 2/8:
The speech begins with a somber reflection on the plight of Israeli hostages held captive in Gaza, highlighting the human toll of ongoing conflicts. The speaker recalls a previous address where he presented a revealing map illustrating Iran's deepening terror axis—a network of proxies and military programs that threaten global peace, regional stability, and the very existence of Israel.
Iran's rapid development of nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs is emphasized as not only a direct threat to Israel but also as a means for blackmail and destabilization of the wider international community, including the United States. From Gaza to Lebanon, and from Syria to Yemen, Iran's influence manifests through waves of terrorist actions, rockets, and military support to allied regimes.
