Netanyahu claimed that Israel had destroyed Iran's immediate ability to produce nuclear bombs twice. Speaking at the Western Wall, Netanyahu also announced that the IDF was 'dealing with the Ali Taher Ridge' and destroyed Hezbollah's underground infrastructure there. ## Disagreement on Trump's statement The Jerusalem Post reported that Trump never directly said Tehran was attempting to rebuild nuclear weapons. Instead, Trump stated that the US had 'noticed there's a little activity at Pickaxe' and would strike if activity was not approved. Trump also stressed that if US forces saw activity the president did not approve of, he would order CENTCOM to strike Pickaxe, calling the situation a 'military conflict' rather than a war. ## What the coverage left out None of the centre or right-rated reports mentioned that the IDF destroyed Hezbollah's underground infrastructure at Ali Taher Ridge. ## Who covered it Shares of the 6 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 0% (0) - Centre: 33% (2) - Right: 67% (4) 14 of 20 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages. Coverage measured 2026-09-11T00:00:32.518681+00:00. **Coverage watch:** developing. Checked 4 times; 0 checks found a material change. Most recently checked 2026-09-11T00:15:41.181Z. ## How the sides framed it ### Left No separate framing summary. ### Centre - The centre-rated reports led on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's vow that Iran would not obtain nuclear weapons while he is prime minister. Both reports mentioned Netanyahu's claim that US President Donald Trump announced Tehran was attempting to rebuild its nuclear weapons capabilities. The Jerusalem Post, which provided a full report, also detailed Trump's specific comments about 'activity at Pickaxe' and the potential for US strikes, and noted that Trump had not directly stated Iran was rebuilding nuclear weapons. ### Right - Right-rated reports focused on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's pledge that Iran would not acquire nuclear weapons as long as he remains in office. These reports highlighted Netanyahu's statement that Iran is trying to rearm itself nuclearly. Arutz Sheva and i24NEWS quoted Netanyahu's vow directly, with i24NEWS using the headline 'Benjamin Netanyahu: "As Long as I Become Prime Minister, Iran Will Not Have Nuclear Weapons"'. El Debate linked the nuclear issue to an offensive against what it called the 'Iranian axis'. **Provisional coverage gap:** left. The watch is not closed, so this is not yet a settled blindspot finding. ## Factuality profile of the covering outlets These are published factuality ratings of the outlets, not a verdict on whether this story or its claims are true. - veryLow: 1 - mixed: 2 - high: 1 - unknown: 16 ## Verification scope This page compares coverage and scores the source reporting.
