Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a powerful, defiant performance in his first in-person press conference with the foreign media since the launch of the decisive U.S.-Israel war against the Iranian regime, kicking off by smashing through vicious fake news death rumors peddled by enemy propagandists and defeatist voices.
“First of all, I just want to say: I’m alive, and you’re all witnesses,” Netanyahu declared with characteristic resolve, directly dispatching the baseless speculation that had circulated on social media and Iranian-backed channels following intense missile exchanges.
These absurd rumors—sparked by doctored videos, AI-generated fakes showing anomalies like extra fingers, and regime mouthpieces claiming assassination—were classic disinformation tactics aimed at undermining Israeli morale and sowing doubt among allies.

Netanyahu wasted no time labeling the claims “fake news,” then shifted to a triumphant update on Operation Roaring Lion, the bold campaign to eliminate Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile threats before they could become irreversible.
He credited the unbreakable partnership with President Donald Trump for the operation’s rapid successes, praising Trump’s decisive leadership in confronting the mullahs head-on rather than appeasing them as past administrations had.
Netanyahu made clear the mission’s core objectives: stripping Iran of its uranium enrichment capabilities and dismantling its ballistic missile production to prevent a nuclear-armed terror state from threatening Israel, the United States, and the free world.
After approximately 20 days of relentless, precision strikes, Netanyahu stated unequivocally that Iran has lost the ability to enrich uranium or manufacture ballistic missiles—capabilities that would have posed an existential nuclear danger within a short timeframe if left unchecked.
He described Iran’s once-formidable missile and drone arsenal as “massively degraded” and heading toward complete obliteration, with its air force crippled, navy devastated, and critical defense infrastructure reduced to rubble.
“We are winning, and Iran is being decimated,” Netanyahu asserted confidently, underscoring the overwhelming superiority of combined U.S.-Israeli military power in the conflict.
The prime minister warned that an Iranian nuclear breakout would have enabled blackmail over global energy supplies via the Strait of Hormuz, a choke point vital to world oil flows.
Netanyahu highlighted how the regime has long waged war against America, Israel, and its own people for nearly five decades, justifying the preemptive action as morally imperative and strategically necessary.
He emphasized that true regime change in Tehran would ultimately depend on the Iranian people rising up, though a ground component might be required alongside air dominance to create the conditions for liberation.
Dismissing critics who falsely claim Israel dragged the U.S. into the fight, Netanyahu quipped, “Does anyone really think that someone can tell President Trump what to do? Come on.”
Israel’s prime minister also praised close coordination with Trump, predicting the war could conclude far sooner than pessimistic voices anticipate thanks to this strong alliance.
