In a post on his X account on Monday, Araqchi said Netanyahu has openly boasted about influencing US policy through extensive appearances on American television networks, while praising US President Donald Trump’s leadership.

“In Hebrew, Netanyahu openly crows that he suckered the US Administration into a war on Iran on behalf of Israel,” the Iranian foreign minister said.

“Netanyahu explicitly laughs about how he ‘influenced’ America through 1,000 hours of airtime on US networks,” he wrote.

“In English, he praises POTUS' leadership. Serpent,” Araqchi said about Netanyahu.
