As hard as it is, we have to separate the ongoing horrific genocide Israel is committing in Gaza to their action today in Iran.
Benjamin Netanyahu is taking the line that their action was a pre-emptive strike to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear missile and nobodies wants Iran to develop one, i would rather nobody had them at all, but i do have a problem with believing anything Netanyahu says on anything especially as the Israeli Prime Minister has been warning that Iran is on the brink of developing a nuclear weapon for decades.
Israel said it had no choice but to attack Iran, saying that Tehran was approaching 'the point of no return in its pursuit of a nuclear weapon' but we have heard this before, in 1992 Netanyahu said Iran was 'three to five years' away from reaching nuclear weapons capability' and in 1995 he repeated the three to five years claim and in 1996 he addressed the American Congress and warned that Iran acquire nuclear weapons was 'extremely close'.
Then in 2009 where Netanyahu informed a visiting Congressional delegation that Iran was 'one or two years away from developing weapons capability' and in 2012 he said that Iran was just 'a few months away from attaining nuclear capabilities' and in 2105 he arrived at the UN with a cartoon bomb and a marker pen warning that Iran was 'weeks away from having enough enriched uranium for an entire arsenal of nuclear weapons'.
In 2015 a deal called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was signed between Iran and six major world powers (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France, and Germany) where the IAEA kept constant checks on the Iranian Nuclear program which was working until Donald Trump, under pressure from Israel, withdrew the USA from it while calling it the worst deal in history.
If Iran is building a nuclear capability, and there is no proof that they are, it is copying what Israel did back in 60's when they lied that the building in Dimona was a textile factory and refused IAEA inspections, so i would be very, very, VERY wary of what Netanyahu is saying without proof.
