Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has boasted of his efforts to convince the US to launch a war against Iran, crediting his frequent appearances on US television networks and his “intimate knowledge” of US leaders.
Netanyahu made the comments Sunday night on Israel’s Channel 14, and a clip of his appearance was posted on X by the account Clash Report, which Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi later shared.
The Israeli leader said that he had been against Iran for “nearly 40 years” and that it took him a long time to get the Israeli security establishment and the US on board.
Netanyahu:
I’ve been dealing with Iran for close to 40 years.
It took me a long time to get our security establishment to deal with Iran itself.
It also took a long time to bring the United States to this understanding. I was able to do that because I had close to a thousand… pic.twitter.com/IT4KkD7j7B

“It took a long time to bring the US in,” he said, according to Channel 14. “I was able to do this because I had close to a thousand hours on American television, influence in the United States, and intimate knowledge of all its leaders – both those who support us and those who do not.”
The New York Times reported in April that 17 days before the US and Israel launched the war on February 28, Netanyahu presented President Trump with an intelligence briefing at the White House and made a “hard sell” for the war. The report said that Netanyahu had been “pressing for months” for the US to agree to a major attack on the Islamic Republic.
Sources told the Times that during the briefing, Netanyahu made a series of predictions about the potential war that proved to be wrong, including the idea that Iran was ripe for regime change, that its ballistic missile program could be destroyed within weeks, that it would be too weak to close the Strait of Hormuz, and that Iran’s missile strikes on US interests in regional countries would be minimal.
Responding to Netanyahu’s comments about his influence on the US, Aragchi said that the Israeli leader was openly bragging about how he “suckered” the US into the war.
“In Hebrew, Netanyahu openly crows that he suckered the US Administration into a war on Iran on behalf of Israel. Netanyahu explicitly laughs about how he ‘influenced’ America through 1,000 hours of airtime on US networks,” the Iranian diplomat wrote on X. “In English, he praises POTUS’ leadership. Serpent.”

> what happened to the Maduro’s whom the US special forces kidnapped last January. No one seems to care if they are in some America miliary prison, dungeon, hotel, or even if they have been murdered. They seem to have disappeared as if the kidnappings never really happened.
Er, the kidnappings never really happened.
If they do trot them out for another OJ show trial, I bet they’ll have very nice tans from their stay in the med. The size of the wife’s nose should tell you something. But Mad Euro’s nose is almost as big.
Before he was put in to run Venezuela, it was one of the most prosperous countries on earth. It should’ve been like Saudi Arabia. His assignment was to run the oil into the ground and impoverish the Venezuelan citizens. And he did that very well. Now the tribe wants to use that oil, so they “kidnapped” him and the next puppet stepped up to do the opposite.
It’s a very odd thing to worry about anyway. Even if you want to believe the official tale, why would you care what happened to them? But if you do want to find them, look around the east end of the med.
Beware! He says he loves Christians. What?
Oh, I see, the Zionist “Christians”…

I “asked” AI what percentage of the world would be destroyed if all the new clear bombs were set off at once. It said:
> Ignoring fallout, climate effects, famine, and other aftereffects, the directly destroyed area would probably be well under 1% of Earth’s total surface—roughly around 0.1–1% of the world’s land area, depending on the weapons’ yields, burst heights, and whether explosions overlap. That estimate refers to areas suffering catastrophic blast and fire damage—not every place where windows break or people might be injured. Because many warheads would likely be aimed at the same major cities and military sites, simply adding their blast radii would overestimate the area destroyed.
So you see, even if you want to believe in the big boom booms, you still don’t get armageddon.
The totals by country:
Country Estimated total warheads
Russia 5,420
United States 5,042
China 620
France 370
United Kingdom 225
India 190
Pakistan 170
Israel 90
North Korea 60
Worldwide total about 12,187
I then asked what if america dropped all of its boom booms on iran:
> Iran covers about 1.65 million km², so the physical area of severe blast destruction would likely be a small fraction of Iran’s land area, not the entire country.
The “truth” will out.
Hey, Yanks. Ever wondered who REALLY runs your country?

UK festivalgoer shares sad truth about what happens to tents left behind in fields
they go to landfill
Story by Zahna Eklund •
I can only speak as a volunteer doctor who has made 2 trips to help the wounded in gaza
The Israelis bombed the hospital killing patients doctors and nurses
we did our best working in the open air, but thankfully donated tents although small
from a UK festival made life much easier.
The IDF come in the night and slash the tents, so we are always asking for replacements
the 8 Turkish volunteers and nurses killed when the ambulance was bombed
were on their way to pick up 6 tents.
The IDF say anyone helping the wounded is a terrorist, and will be killed
2 volunteer doctors from my own hospital have been killed in IDF hospital bombings
You cannot imagine the suffering of the people in the occupied territories
my heart goes out to them
