Netanyahu Vows to ‘Eliminate Iran Threat’ If Elected; Iran’s FM Responds

This is campaign rhetoric meeting regional escalation risk, and the two-year timeline is the detail that matters most: it converts a vague security slogan into a measurable commitment that domestic rivals and Washington can hold Netanyahu to. Araghchi's framing — that pressure strengthened Iran and that the U.S. is being pulled toward another war — signals Tehran will position any Israeli action as an American project, complicating the cooperation Netanyahu is promising. For markets, the relevant channel is headline-driven risk sentiment rather than any concrete policy change yet. Whether the two-year pledge survives coalition bargaining after the vote is the open question.
