In a shocking interview, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a serious claim. He said that Iran Islamic regime had planned to assassinate U.S. President Donald Trump. Netanyahu referred to Trump as Iran’s “enemy number one.”
Netanyahu’s Alarming Statement on Iran’s Plot
The reason, according to Netanyahu, was Trump’s tough stance against Iran’s nuclear program.
Netanyahu said, “They want to kill him. 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.” Netanyahu praised Trump for withdrawing the United States from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. He also gave credit to Trump for ordering the strike that killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in 2020.
Trump explicitly stated that Iran could not possess a nuclear weapon, according to the Israeli prime minister. Netanyahu stated in the interview, “He made it very clear, even now, that Iran cannot enrich uranium because it cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.”
He further claimed that Iran saw Trump as a serious obstacle to its goals. Because of his strong actions, they saw him as a major threat and a key enemy.
Israel’s Role and Netanyahu’s Personal Experience
Netanyahu claimed in the same interview that Iranians were attacking him as well. He disclosed that a missile had been shot right at the window of his bedroom. He said this was proof of Iran’s deep hostility toward Israel’s leadership.

In his attempt to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, Netanyahu referred to himself as Trump’s “junior partner.” He explained that both he and Trump had taken firm positions against Iran’s nuclear ambitions and its growing military strength.
To support his claims, Netanyahu talked about Israel’s military efforts against Iran. He said that Israel is facing a serious danger. He stated, “We were confronted with a dual existential threat.” Netanyahu mentioned two main threats: one, Iran rushing to make a nuclear bomb, and two, Iran rapidly building up its missile supply.
According to Netanyahu, Iran wants to build up to 3,600 missiles each year. He cautioned that Iran might possess up to 10,000 missiles in three years. If this continues, the number could reach 20,000 in 26 years. He said no country, especially one as small as Israel, could survive under such a threat.
Netanyahu maintained that Israel was forced to take action. He said the military campaign was necessary not just for Israel, but for the entire world.
Operation Rising Lion and the Battle Against Iran
Netanyahu claimed that Israel has begun Operation Rising Lion, a unique military endeavor. It was “one of the greatest military operations in history,” according to him. The operation focused on Iran’s missile and nuclear programs. Netanyahu claimed it had successfully set back Iran’s ability to make nuclear weapons.

He also addressed the people of Iran directly. He said that they had suffered under the rule of the same Islamic regime for 50 years. According to him, this regime has repeatedly threatened to destroy the State of Israel.
Iran responded to Israel’s attacks by launching a large number of ballistic missiles at Israeli cities. However, Netanyahu said most of these missiles were intercepted and did not cause major damage.
He stressed that Israel is prepared to do whatever it takes to remove the danger that Iran’s nuclear and missile programs pose to the world.
Netanyahu vehemently defended Israel’s military actions throughout the interview. He said that Iran’s behavior leaves no room for talks or negotiations. The only way to deal with the situation, he claimed, is through strong action.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that Iran plotted to assassinate U.S. President Donald Trump due to his tough stance on Iran’s nuclear program. He also said he was personally targeted by an Iranian missile.
Netanyahu described Israel’s military response, Operation Rising Lion, as essential to stop Iran’s nuclear and missile threats. Iran retaliated with missile attacks, most of which were intercepted. Netanyahu insisted these actions were necessary for global safety, sparking widespread concern over the serious accusations.
