In Hebrew, Mr. Netanyahu publicly boasted that he had lured the US administration into a war with Iran instead of Israel. Mr. Netanyahu blatantly laughed at how he had'influenced' the United States through 1,000 hours of broadcasting on US television channels," Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi wrote on X social network on August 31.
In English, he praised the leadership ability of the US President," the Iranian Foreign Minister added.
War between Iran and the US broke out on February 28 with airstrikes from the US and Israel, killing Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and many senior military officials. Iran responded with attacks across the region, causing the conflict to spread.
The ceasefire in April ended the most fierce period of fighting, but sporadic attacks, mainly near the Strait of Hormuz, overshadowed the prospect of a final peace agreement. Recently, the US has shifted to a campaign that it calls "economic suffocation" against Iran.
On August 31, the US just attacked Iran's Larak Island, the first airstrike targeting this country in a month. In response, Iran said it had attacked bases in Jordan and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) used by the US military.
Last week, Prime Minister Netanyahu rejected all prospects for an agreement between Iran and the US.
