The news as it trends. See some of the comments below.
As bombs continue to fall over Iran in what many are calling an unprovoked escalation, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing mounting accusations of deliberately dragging the United States into a war that could cost countless lives—and billions in American taxpayer dollars.
Critics, including U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen, claim Netanyahu has long sought to provoke a military confrontation with Iran—this time allegedly using disputed intelligence to justify strikes on nuclear sites.
Some have also accused Netanyahu of spreading misinformation as far back as 1982, repeatedly claiming Iran was just “weeks away” from acquiring nuclear weapons.
That same narrative, critics argue, is being recycled today to justify military action.
The controversy deepens as Iran, a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), has reportedly been cooperating with international inspectors.
Meanwhile, Israel—widely believed to possess nuclear weapons—remains outside the NPT and refuses inspections of its own facilities.
This double standard has fueled global outrage.
Now, with American troops on alert and tensions rising across the Middle East and Asia, fears are growing that Netanyahu’s actions could ignite a broader conflict—possibly even World War III.
With nuclear-armed nations like China, Russia, North Korea, and Pakistan watching closely, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
As one analyst put it: “This isn’t just about Iran. It’s about a leader willing to gamble with global peace to maintain regional dominance.”
Some have even accused Netanyahu of committing war crimes by provoking conflicts to avoid political accountability.
The world is watching—and holding its breath—as Netanyahu is accused of repeatedly bypassing the U.S. Congress, which alone holds the constitutional authority to declare war, by pressuring Trump directly to strike Iran as soon as possible.
