Analyst says interest in Epstein files plummeted after war on Iran launched

AI Summary

medium article 2 min

In March 2026, a war launched by the United States and Israel against Iran has overshadowed the global fallout from the release of Jeffrey Epstein files. Before the war, the files implicated figures like Prince Andrew, former UK Ambassador Peter Mandelson, and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, leading to arrests, scrutiny, and resignations. US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick agreed to testify about his Epstein ties, and Bill and Hillary Clinton testified before Congress. Analyst Shaiel Ben-Ephraim suggests the war may be a tactic to divert attention from the Epstein revelations. Congressman Thomas Massie, who championed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, criticized the war, stating it wouldn't erase the Epstein issue.
