Netanyahu reveals Iran marked Trump as 'enemy number one' with assassination plot
Fox News ^ | June 15, 2025 | Taylor Penley

Posted on 06/15/2025 1:21:43 PM PDT by McGruff

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed in his first interview since Israel launched its blistering attacks on Iran that the country's Islamic regime had pinpointed President Donald Trump as a threat to its nuclear program and actively worked to assassinate him.

"They want to kill him. He's enemy number one. He's a decisive leader. He never took the path that others took to try to bargain with them in a way that is weak, giving them basically a pathway to enrich uranium, which means a pathway to the bomb, padding it with billions and billions of dollars," the prime minister told Fox News' Bret Baier during a special Sunday edition of "Special Report."

"He took up this fake agreement and basically tore it up. He killed Qasem Soleimani. He made it very clear, including now, ‘You cannot have a nuclear weapon, which means you cannot enrich uranium.’ He's been very forceful, so for them, he's enemy number one."

Oh my! If Netanyahu says it you can take it to the bank! He would never try to manipulate us for his own purposes./s

The fact that Israel often uses lies and deception to score wins -- then brags about it after the fact -- does not help bolster its credibility when it does happen to be telling the truth.

Bibi is right, but it’s not exactly a revelation or breaking news. Back in 2020 after Trump took out Soleimani, the Ayatollah made it clear that Trump was at the top of his hit list.

The anti Israel undercurrent here is troubling.

Yes, and Netanyahu backed out of the deal to hit Soleimani and left Trump holding the bag.

He was also the first leader to slobber over Joe Biden.

There are so many sick Jew Haters here who should be zotted. However, this is FR after so many decades of being a Conservative Israel supporting community.

Not anymore with libertardians and foreign trolls of all sorts.

Meanwhile... They are skaddadling in Tehran - the IRGC cannot keep it's bench strenth up lately.

Huge traffic jams in Tehran.

Correct, and the previous posters' comments are incorrect or misguided. Do they have short memories about Soleimani ?

So if Netanyahu says something inflammatory, something that is almost causus belli, FOR US, would you not approach it with caution?

There is no more reason for an American to be especially loyal to Israel. Certainly no more than they are to America.

Netanyahu literally met Pollard at the airport in the middle of the night, handed him a new passport and said “you’re home”. That was a prick who spied on America. No, no American should view Israel as a special ally. And their word should be no better than that of Poland, France or India. They aren’t completely evil, and they aren’t completely trustworthy either.

Wake up. View them normally, no better, no worse.

Anyone who dares criticize Israel is an anti-Semite, right?

There is something really really wrong with you.

Hey Iran, if you want to get your country wiped off the face of the earth and put back into the stone age then harm our President.

Name a better ally we have, better than Israel? New Zeeland? Canada? Rwanda? There is also the Christian-Jewish religious connection. Though you come off as an atheist.
