DID Press: In a video reposted by Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu on TikTok, Iran is described as a “dangerous rival” to the U.S. Navy and its regional bases.

The video highlights the capabilities of the U.S. naval fleet but emphasizes that Iran’s true strength lies not in its ships or aircraft, but in its decade-long focus on developing long-range missiles, expanding drone capabilities, and supporting regional armed groups.
The report clarifies that Iran can use its array of tools to confront a powerful military force from various directions, making it, according to the video’s producers, “a dangerous rival” even to the U.S. Navy.
