🚨 SHOCKING: The White House's official justification for the war on Iran was COPIED almost word-for-word from a pro-Israel think tank report.
On March 2, 2026, the White House published "The Iranian Regime’s Decades of Terrorism Against American Citizens" — a list of 44 alleged attacks on Americans (claiming ~992 deaths) used to justify U.S. military action against Iran.
Independent researcher Stephen McIntyre ( on X) did a side-by-side comparison and found it was plagiarized from a June 19, 2025 report by the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), written by Tzvi Kahn, a former AIPAC employee.
The wording, dates, casualty numbers, and structure match nearly verbatim — with the White House version often adding stronger "Iran-backed" language to amp up blame. No original U.S. intelligence assessment was cited. Just a copy-paste from a group founded explicitly "to provide education to enhance Israel's image in North America" (their original IRS filing under the Hebrew name "EMET").
Original FDD report (June 2025):

This isn't just sloppy staff work. It's further proof that key U.S. foreign policy decisions — including launching and escalating a major war — are being driven by outside interests aligned with Israel rather than independent American intelligence or national priorities. When the casus belli for bombing another country comes straight from a think tank whose mission is to promote Israel's image, it raises serious questions about whose interests are really being served in Washington.
America should make decisions based on our own verified intel and what's best for Americans — not recycled talking points from foreign-aligned lobbies. Thoughts? Share if you agree this needs more scrutiny.
The Trump White House plagiarized its justification for attacking Iran from the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, the main DC outfit promoting war with Tehran. The think tank was originally founded to “enhance Israel’s image,” and partners closely with the Israeli government. The Trum...
