Video: A Thirty Year Lie About Iran Has Just Been Exposed

For three decades, Benjamin Netanyahu has been crying wolf about Iran being just weeks away from building a nuclear bomb. Thirty years. Same script. Same panic. Same manufactured urgency. A newly resurfaced video compilation shows him repeating this claim like a broken record—on Israeli TV, American talk shows, and the grand stage of the United Nations. Each time, Iran is apparently right there, on the cusp, yet somehow never actually crosses the line. It's always a matter of “weeks.” Funny how the apocalypse keeps getting rescheduled.

This narrative has been called a lie after a video surfaced showing that Benjamin Netanyahu has been claiming Iran is just weeks away from building a nuclear bomb—for thirty years. The footage, widely shared on X, shows Netanyahu making the same alarmist claim over and over again—on Israeli television, American news outlets, and even at the United Nations. In every instance, Iran is portrayed as being on the brink, with an urgent tone suggesting that action must be taken immediately.

This relentless drumbeat of fear is the same alarmist message that reportedly convinced Donald Trump to take a hardline stance against Iran, putting the U.S. on a direct collision course with yet another war in the Middle East. The script hasn’t changed—it’s just got new actors.

The comparison to the Iraq disaster isn’t just valid—it’s glaring. Back then, it was “Saddam has WMDs,” now it’s “Iran is about to go nuclear.” There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. There are none in Iran. Just more smoke and mirrors to sell another war to the public.

Strip away the hysteria, and what’s left? Nothing solid. No proof. No bomb. Just hot air and speculation. The so-called evidence from the International Atomic Energy Agency? Read the fine print—it’s all “estimates” and “probabilities,” not hard facts. Meanwhile, Israel continues to shout from the rooftops while offering zero tangible proof. Not one smoking gun—just endless noise.

And let’s not forget: Iran’s military hardware largely comes from Russia and China, both of whom do have nuclear capabilities. If they wanted to hand Iran a bomb, they could. But they haven’t. Iran is still supposedly “almost there”—just like it was in 1995. And 2002. And 2011. And every year since.

We’ve seen this movie before, and we know how it ends. The endless fearmongering about Iran’s “imminent” nuclear bomb is ripped straight from the Iraq War playbook—right down to the hollow intelligence, breathless media parroting, and hysterical political theatre. Back then, it was Saddam’s phantom stockpile of weapons of mass destruction.

Today, it’s Iran’s mythical nuke that’s always just “weeks away.” The WMD claim was a calculated lie that paved the road to an illegal invasion, mass civilian death, and a region plunged into chaos for a generation. And now, the same people—some literally, some ideologically—are trying it again, hoping that nobody will notice.

Let’s stop pretending: is this constant shrieking about Iran really about national security—or is it just the latest manufactured crisis to drag America into another endless war it doesn’t need and can’t win? With zero hard proof and three decades of empty warnings, this looks less like intelligence and more like propaganda. The question isn’t whether Iran is building a bomb—it’s whether this whole narrative is just a pretext, a setup, a trap. The kind of trap that ends with American troops dying in another desert, fighting another war for someone else’s agenda. Do they seriously believe we're going to fall for this again?
