Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi wrote on 31 Aug 2026 that Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking in Hebrew, claimed to have influenced the U.S. administration into a war on Iran through extensive U.S. media airtime, while praising U.S. leadership in English. This is an official Iranian statement, not independent confirmation of Netanyahu's intent.
