Join us for a thought-provoking in-person discussion diving deep into the accusations that Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was the main brain behind President Donald J. Trump's war against Iran.
Netanyahu has categorically rejected accusations that he dragged US President Trump into the war with Iran.
Netanyahu says no-one can tell the US leader what to do.
However, the New York Times reported that Netanyahu was in the situation room February II, 2026 along with Mossad chief David Barnea Netanyahu arrived at the White House that morning (just before 11 a.m.) He was taken into a highly unusual, in-person session in the White House Situation Room with Donald Trump and top U.S. national security officials. There, Netanyahu delivered what multiple reports describe as a “hard sell” presentation for attacking Iran, including military plans and even post-regime-change scenarios. According to the New York Times, the CIA chief John Ratcliffe called Netanyahu's presentation "farcical" while Secretary of State Marco Rubio called it BS. Media reports say that Netanyahu has been saying for 33 years that Iran was one week away from developing a nuclear bomb.
This Feb 11 session wasn’t a one-off—it kicked off a series of Situation Room meetings over the following weeks in which Trump and his team debated whether to join Israel militarily.
