The New York Times has published a story that claims President Trump was persuaded to attack Iran only by a 'hard sell' from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The article includes alleged details and quotes from secret White House meetings, suggesting someone committed a federal crime to leak the information. However, the story ignores Trump's long-standing campaign to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and his decision to eliminate a top Iranian terror leader. The Times' biased coverage reflects its longstanding hatred of Netanyahu and support for the failed Iran nuclear deal under Obama.

Why it matters

The New York Times' influence as a leading voice of the Democratic Party means its anti-Trump and anti-Israel campaigns carry significant weight among many voters. This has contributed to a sharp decline in favorable views of Israel, especially among younger Americans and Democrats. The paper's fact-challenged coverage has real consequences, fueling the rise of anti-Israel sentiment and undermining support for U.S. policies aimed at containing Iran's nuclear ambitions.

The details

The Times article claims to have obtained exclusive details and quotes from secret White House meetings about the decision to attack Iran. It portrays Netanyahu as overselling the benefits of an attack and U.S. officials, including the CIA director and Joint Chiefs chairman, as skeptical of his claims. However, the story ignores Trump's long history of confronting Iran, including withdrawing from the Obama-era nuclear deal and eliminating a top Iranian terror leader. The Times' biased framing reflects its longstanding hostility toward Netanyahu and support for the failed Iran nuclear agreement.

  • In his first term, Trump withdrew the U.S. from the Iran nuclear deal crafted under the Obama administration.
  • In early 2019, Trump ordered the elimination of Qasem Soleimani, the top Iranian terror leader.

What they’re saying

“In other words, it's bullshi--t.”

— Marco Rubio, Secretary of State

“Sir, this is, in my experience, standard operating procedure for the Israelis. They oversell, and their plans are not always well-developed. They know they need us, and that's why they're hard-selling.”

— Gen. Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

What’s next

The Times' biased coverage of Trump's Iran policies and Israel will likely continue, fueling further erosion of support for the U.S.-Israel relationship, especially among younger Americans and Democrats.
