Video: Netanyahu boasts of reshaping Middle East
In an address on Sunday, Netanyahu emphasised Israel’s shift from defense to offense, “Instead of them surprising us. We are the active side. we are the attacking side, we are the initiating side their territory of the Middle East perception of security. We take the initiative, and we have created three territory.”
He added triumphantly, ‘I said we would change the face of the Middle East, and we did that’ and ‘We take the initiative, we attack’.
The comments come as U.S. President Donald Trump ramps up threats of military action against Iran, including potential occupations of its islands, in response to disruptions by Iranian-backed groups like Hezbollah and the Houthis.
Iran’s Armed Forces Spokesman fired back in a video statement on March 29, 2026, branding Trump a “pawn” of Netanyahu, allegedly influenced by Mossad through Epstein connections. He warned that any U.S. ground invasion would doom American soldiers, turning them into “food for sharks” in the Persian Gulf”, Dailyeconomy reports.
