Netanyahu downplays Iran turnout as TYT slams US media over Israel coverage

Jul 11, 2026

This is a heated pro-Palestinian take on Israel, Iran, and American media, framed as bad for anyone trusting US news coverage of the Middle East.

  • Netanyahu went on Fox News and claimed only a hateful minority of Iranians backs the regime, dismissing the huge crowds at the Ayatollah's funeral.
  • The counterpoint: Israel killed Iran's top leaders and bombed a school full of children, so anger at Israel and the US is the obvious result, not proof of extremism.
  • The bigger claim is that US media flips the story — treating chants against Israel as worse than the actual killing and territory grabs.
  • Iran's funeral drew world leaders, including from Armenia, which is read as Israel isolating itself and uniting others against it.
  • A warning is floated that Netanyahu is now laying the groundwork for a future US-backed war against Turkey.

Outlook: Expect continued fights over Middle East war coverage, with more pressure on the US-Israel alliance and talk of Turkey as the next flashpoint.
