In an interview with Jewish-American publicist Ben Shapiro's podcast, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that missiles Iran is producing could potentially reach the United States in the future, and Israel is effectively protecting America. "The one that tried to develop nuclear intercontinental missiles to threaten your cities - that was Iran. We eliminated that program, with Trump's help," he said. "Iran is developing missiles with a range of 8,000 kilometers. Add another 3,000, and it's aiming its nuclear intentions at New York, Washington, Boston, Miami - and even Mar-a-Lago. You don't want to be under the nuclear sights of people shouting 'Death to America.' Israel prevented that."
