Washington — March 10, 2026: Former U.S. intelligence officer and commentator Scott Ritter has made controversial claims during an appearance on The Sanchez Effect, alleging that Iranian strikes targeted residences linked to senior Israeli political figures, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.

Meanwhile, a separate report by the BBC indicated that Ben-Gvir had been involved in a car accident, creating confusion around the circumstances surrounding the reported incident.
Commenting on the conflicting narratives, Ritter remarked sarcastically during the program: “His house is on fire. Maybe he crashed his car into his house.”

In another strongly worded statement during the same discussion, Ritter criticized Western political leadership and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, saying: “We are murderers — led by a psychopath… and losing.”
The remarks have sparked debate across social media platforms, particularly as tensions between Iran and Israel continue to dominate regional headlines.
Observers note that claims circulating during periods of heightened conflict can be difficult to verify immediately, and media organizations have urged caution until official confirmations or independent evidence become available.
