I’ve seen reporting about the February 11 briefing and the claim that Israeli officials presented a very optimistic assessment of what could happen in Iran. What I haven’t seen is evidence that Netanyahu or Mossad knowingly provided false intelligence to the United States.
Remember, in June 2025, the US and Israel were arm and arm and shoulder to shoulder: destroy Iran's nuclear capacity. In Feb 2026, Netanyahu now wanted regime change in Iran and the US to make it happen. During the briefing on Feb 11, Netanyahu (personally) and Mossad representatives (electronically) gave three guarantees that had no basis in credible intelligence but formed Israel's basis for toppling the Iranian regime now:
1. Iran was sufficiently weakened militarily and politically and would be unable to influence operations in the Strait of Hormuz
2. The Iranian population would rise again in opposition to the Mullahs and the Kurds would join the fight with the Iranian people
3. This overthrow would take --- at most --- a week or two and presented a slide show of potential Iranian leaders already vetted by Mossad
None of it was true --- which is why Netanyahu would quickly go on to announce plans to bomb Iran to begin this war for regime change. He forced the US to engage militarily on February 28 to protect US military personnel from Iran retaliation ( Rubio let this cat out of this bag). It didn't matter to our great ally that in the Trump administration there was still an internal debate underway.
Also, hindsight by itself doesn’t prove intent. An intelligence assessment can turn out to be wrong without it having been a deliberate deception. The key question is whether there was evidence at the time that the information was knowingly false.
Actually, the key question is what evidence did Netanyahu/Mossad base their guarantees on. Our intelligence sources and agencies assessed the Israeli presentation to be "farcical" and by one well-known as "bullshit". To counter this, Netanyahu simply loaded up his bombers and put them on the runway. Then he called Trump.
If you have a source, documents, testimony, or reporting that shows intentional deception, I’d genuinely appreciate you sharing it. I’d like to understand the basis for that conclusion.
The basis for the conclusion is not rocket science: For thirty years Netanyahu has grounded his entire political life in the destruction of Iran ---- every UN speech, US speech, interview and breath he's taken had "Iran" in it. He finally found a US president willing to listen to him about regime change.
Netanyahu took his best shot ---- and an especially smart move in an election year (Oct 27) when his "Mr, Security" badge is splattered with Israeli blood.
Last, but not least, beyond what's already been published, additional documents, souces or testimony are not available. A wall has dropped around this topic and leakers have taken to using locked keyboards for their books rather than phone interviews. Actually, this wall of silence is pretty impressive. But, smart money's on this silence not lasting beyond the midterms.
In the meantime, just pay attention to the ongoing Trump/Netanyahu interactions and take occasional peeks at the international presses, especially India and Israel .... they seem able to slip in new reporting.
I can send other links, if interested, but none contain the signed confession you seem to be looking for (yet).
