"Iran's leaders promised to destroy my country, murder my people and the response from this body, the response from nearly every one of the governments represented here has been absolutely nothing. Utter silence. Deafening silence," he said.
The Israeli leader also hit back at what he called "brazen lies" about Israel made in earlier U.N. speeches.
Netanyahu has been vehemently opposed to the Iran deal, which he claims will "allow a country that vows to annihilate us to develop nuclear weapons."
