Netanyahu got his Iran war, but maybe not his desired result
After decades of urging the United States to attack Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu finally got his wish. But after six months of inconclusive hostilities, Israel may ultimately find itself in a worse position than it was before the war. The Islamic republic, which Netanyahu has long cast as an existential threat, has not only survived but appears emboldened.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been seeking a US-led attack on Iran for decades. After six months of hostilities, Iran appears to have survived and may even be emboldened, according to Al-Monitor.
Netanyahu has claimed that Iran attempted to assassinate one of his sons, though details are unclear, as reported by the South China Morning Post. He did not specify which of his children was allegedly targeted. His elder son, Yair, has been living in Miami since early 2024, with Shin Bet protection.
The current situation may leave Israel in a worse position than before the war, as per Al-Monitor. Netanyahu's comments on the alleged assassination attempt were made during a discussion about security for a rival politician.
