A Chilling Conspiracy or Geopolitical Misinformation?
A provocative report circulating on X has ignited global alarm, alleging that Israel’s Mossad is plotting a catastrophic false flag attack on U.S. soil, reminiscent of 9/11, to provoke a war with Iran. The claims, reportedly based on hacked Mossad files from Tehran, suggest plans for cyber warfare, targeted assassinations, and even the “Samson Option”—Israel’s alleged nuclear doomsday doctrine. Most alarmingly, the report points to the USS Nimitz, a retiring aircraft carrier deployed to the Middle East in June 2025, as a potential “sacrificial pawn” to be sunk and blamed on Iran, manufacturing consent for World War III.

These allegations, unverified by mainstream sources, draw parallels to the 1967 USS Liberty incident, where Israel attacked a U.S. ship, killing 34 sailors, in what some claim was a deliberate act to draw the U.S. into the Six-Day War. Critics, including Jeffrey Sachs on X, argue that U.S. foreign policy has long been influenced by Israel, citing the “weapons of mass destruction” narrative as a fabricated pretext for war. While these claims stir outrage and fear, they remain speculative, demanding rigorous scrutiny amid Israel’s tense standoff with Iran. History.com
Benjamin Netanyahu: A Polarizing Figure
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s longest-serving leader, is central to these allegations. His aggressive stance against Iran, including 2025 strikes on its military targets, has escalated tensions. No personal scandals or crimes directly implicate Netanyahu in this alleged plot, but his leadership has been marred by past corruption charges, though he was acquitted in 2024. His achievements include strengthening Israel’s security and forging the Abraham Accords, yet critics accuse him of warmongering to bolster domestic support. As voices on X demand transparency, Netanyahu’s legacy hangs in the balance, with some fearing he could drag the U.S. into conflict. BBC News
Israel’s Geopolitical Flashpoint: Iran Strikes
In June 2025, Israel launched airstrikes on Iranian missile facilities, escalating fears of a broader conflict. Netanyahu justified the strikes as preemptive, citing Iran’s support for Hezbollah and Hamas. The move, condemned by Tehran and debated on X, has fueled speculation about Israel’s motives, with some users echoing the false flag narrative. This escalation, set against the Israel-Hamas war’s devastation in Gaza, has polarized global opinion, with 62% of Israelis supporting military action in a recent Haaretz poll. The stakes are high, and the world watches nervously. Haaretz
