On June 13th, the Zionist entity carried out a wide-ranging, unprovoked, criminal\u00a0military strike<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0on Iran, purportedly to dent the Islamic Republic\u2019s quest to develop nuclear weapons. Tehran has\u00a0consistently repudiated<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0any suggestion it harbours such ambitions. A\u00a0November 2007<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0US National Intelligence Estimate concurred, expressing \u201chigh confidence that in fall 2003,\u201d the country \u201chalted\u201d any and all research in the field. This assessment remained unchanged for several years subsequently, and was\u00a0reportedly shared<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0by Mossad.<\/h2>\n

By contrast, Benjamin Netanyahu has for decades declared\u00a0almost annually<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0Iran is mere years away from becoming a nuclear power, urging military action as a result. The longtime Israeli leader\u2019s anxieties are sickly ironic, given Tel Aviv\u2019s own nuclear weapons program is the worst kept \u2018secret\u2019 in international affairs. Over many years, multiple entity officials and prominent figures have effectively – or\u00a0even directly<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0– admitted this monstrous capacity. Moreover, Israel is\u00a0avowedly committed<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0to the \u2018Samson Option\u2019.<\/h2>\n

Under its horrifying auspices, if the entity feels sufficiently threatened, it reserves the right to carry out preemptive nuclear strikes not merely on regional adversaries, but its Western sponsors into the bargain. As Dutch-born Israeli military theorist Martin van Creveld boasted in\u00a0September 2003<\/a><\/strong>:<\/h2>\n

\u201cWe possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals are targets\u2026We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that that will happen before Israel goes under.\u201d<\/em><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n
