Fake accounts used against Iran's regime now amplify Netanyahu's attacks on rivals
A Haaretz investigation reveals that fake accounts promoting regime change in Iran have begun sharing Netanyahu's election videos
Israeli officials have expressed concern that warnings from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz about potential Iranian strikes could provoke Iran into attacking first, according to a report in Maariv. The officials say that the political leaders' warnings could backfire and lead Iran to believe they are preparing for an Israeli attack, prompting Tehran to strike first.
Netanyahu and Katz have repeatedly warned of an imminent Iranian strike ahead of the elections, in an attempt to deter their enemies and prevent them from carrying out their plans. However, Defense officials are worried that the repeated statements by the political leaders, coupled with extensive media coverage, could result in a miscalculation by Iran.
The officials insist that they are prepared for various scenarios and are coordinating with the US and regional countries.
