Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has described Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a “snake.” He alleged that Netanyahu dragged the United States into a war against Iran to serve Israel’s interests. The report is from Al Jazeera.
In a social media post, Araghchi said that in remarks made in Hebrew and directed at an Israeli audience, Netanyahu openly boasted about how he had “influenced” the US administration. Yet in English, he praises US President Donald Trump’s leadership.
In Araghchi’s account, Netanyahu himself has highlighted how he “lured” the US administration into a war against Iran to serve Israel’s interests. He described Netanyahu as a “snake” in this context. His allegation has featured in ongoing international reporting on the Iran war.
Since the joint US-Israeli military operation, various reports have examined Netanyahu’s role in drawing Washington into the war against Iran.
