Iranian foreign minister accuses Netanyahu of deceiving the United States and calls him a snake

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accused Benjamin Netanyahu of drawing the United States into war with Iran, then portrayed the Israeli prime minister as speaking differently depending on his audience.

Writing on X, Araghchi said Netanyahu claimed in Hebrew that he had lured the US administration into fighting Iran for Israel. In English, Araghchi said, Netanyahu praised the US president’s leadership. He ended the post with a blunt insult: “Snake.”

In Hebrew, Netanyahu openly sings that he lured the US administration into a war against Iran on Israel's behalf. Netanyahu openly laughs about how he 'influenced' America through 1,000 hours of airtime on US stations.

The accusation came amid an unsettled conflict between Iran and the United States. Fighting began on February 28 after US and Israeli strikes killed Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, along with other senior officers, according to the report. Iran responded with attacks across the region, and the conflict spread.

In English, he praises the leadership of the POTUS. Snake.

A ceasefire reached in April halted the most intense fighting, but sporadic attacks, mainly near the Strait of Hormuz, have weakened hopes for a final peace agreement. The United States has also recently shifted to what it calls a campaign of “economic strangulation” against Iran.

On Sunday evening, the United States struck Iran’s Larak Island, its first such attack in a month. Iran said it responded with attacks on bases in Jordan and the United Arab Emirates used by the US military. Netanyahu rejected any prospect of an agreement between Iran and the United States last week and called Iranian leaders “savages.” He has long opposed diplomacy with Tehran and publicly campaigned against the 2015 nuclear deal, while avoiding public criticism of Donald Trump when Trump pursued a negotiated agreement.
