Netanyahu denies misleading Trump into Iran war: ‘I didn’t have to convince him’
NY Post ^ | March 19, 2026 | Caitlin Doornbos

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denied that he “misled” the United States into starting the war with Iran, rejecting a reporter’s assertion that he has any power over the American president.

“I misled no one, and I didn’t have to convince President Trump about the need to prevent Iran from developing its nuclear program, putting it underground and being able to launch nuclear tip missiles at the United States,” Netanyahu said during a press conference on the conflict Thursday.

“He understood that — he explained it to me, I didn’t explain it to him.”

He made six trips to the White House in the last year because he had nothing better to do.

It's the reporters at the press conference driving this narrative.
Personally, I believe all reporters should be interned, incommunicado.

Maybe this will quiet the Israel pushes Pres Trump around crowd ... for once, and, for all.

Bibi brings up many great points .... and, how these maniacs could wipe out much of Europe and reach many areas in the USA, if allowed to progress.

Even as this idea has been denied, they keep asking it, and they keep printing it as though it is true.

I think it’s good of Netanyahu to say this - the media narrative is that President Trump is Israel’s puppet. He is saying - not so. Therefore, I see this as him trying to support President Trump.

Americans that recognize the threat of islamic terrorism don’t need Netanyahu to convince them of anything in regards to taking action against it.

The ones that decry Netanyahu in a vain attempt to dissuade such support are traitors.

So, he and the Mossad just fed Trump lies that bombing could lead to a quick regime change?

If this lunatic and his country continue to rip apart the oil infrastructure in the gulf states, causing millions of suffer, he needs to be tried as a war criminal.

A country of nine million people shouldn't be allowed to cause suffering for billions.

Of course he didn’t have to convince President Trump.

Donald Trump has been announcing exactly what he intends for Iran’s dictators since 1980.

And your point is? They had stored, by their own admission, enough enriched uranium to make ten bombs.
