Although I'll agree that Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu is a thug, there's a marked difference between him and Israel itself. If Iran is able to develop nuclear weapons, there is little doubt in my mind that they will be used, and against Israel. While Tehran insists it only wishes to develop nuclear power for peaceful purposes, it is enriching uranium far beyond the level needed for civilian use. Moreover, the UN nuclear watchdog concluded last week that the Persian Power is ignoring its nuclear safeguard obligations.
With the backing of 19 countries, the International Atomic Energy Agency has determined that
“Iran’s many failures to uphold its obligations since 2019 to provide the Agency with full and timely cooperation regarding undeclared nuclear material and activities at multiple undeclared locations in Iran ... constitutes non-compliance with its obligations under its Safeguards Agreement.”
Instead of vowing to comply, Iran instead said it would start a new "secure site" and speed up its uranium enrichment program, which is what is needed for nukes.
So Israel has no choice.
Israel has attacked military targets, but the underground sites might be invulnerable to bunker buster bombs. If that is so, it might be necessary to use troops as Irael did in Syria.

Israel is doing the world a favor. Hopefully they can force a regime change from within.
Israel is doing the world's work for them
It may be necessary to turn the vast expanse of sand in Iran into shiny glass, inpenetratable to below ground facilities for a thousand years.
You're correct, of course. This war began in 1979. I went to college with someone whose parents were trapped in Iran and eventually executed by the Shia government. But a major turning point came in 2016 when Barack Obama released $1.6 B in seized Iranian funds, including $400M in a "Dumbo Drop" style cash payment. At the time he said:
""The issue that critics have pointed out is that, because Iran has used funds in the past to engage in nefarious activities, including supporting terrorist organizations like Hezbollah, that somehow this money might be used for those purposes. We’ve got no evidence that that’s the case with respect to these funds."
What a dangerously naive POTUS. Obama was anti-Israel (in actual deed) long before the Democrat's Hamas wing marched on campuses and prevented Josh Shapiro from being nominated for VP. The Blood Lie is alive and well. As a Democrat, you're brave for posting this. Stay safe.
Bernie, Israel has a whole lot of choices, and they consistently make aggressive ones. When you understand the whole history of the state going back to before WWI, it's a mess and a mess that is a consistent trend of aggression and displacement. Israel has nuclear weapons, but refuses to acknowledge that fact, or how they got them. Look into the Sampson Option.
Also, the idea that Iran would just randomly nuke Israel is insane. The Iranian leaders are religiously hardline, but they are not comic book villains.
50 years of these Iranians supporting terror across the Middle East. I hope Israel destroys them.
I agree 100%. Iran was just days away from developing 1 nuclear weapon, and a month from developing 15 weapons. Once they had several weapons they would've hidden them, and then good luck finding them. We should be thankful that Israel has done the world a favor, by thoroughly weakening Iran & all their proxies. They've been hell bent on destroying Us & Israel for decades!
Finally, after a half century of promoting & funding terrorism, Iran is finished- thanks to Israel
Another war over weapons of mass destruction? Please. Stop it.
I suggest it is your world view that is insane. Iran's leadership decapitates people. That's beyond comic book villain.
Thank You Israel and your Military. Iran's so called leadership must be expelled along with their nuke program.
Ukraine is winding down, gotta wind Iran up! Fun fact: Victoria Nuland was one of the prime architects for the Ukraine war under Obama/Biden. Her husband, Robert Kagan, is a huge Neo-Con that was influential in the Bush admin. Look them both up. The usual suspects, and two sides of the same coin. One Republican, one Democrat, no matter who wins, you lose.
Where's the commentor from last summer/fall who would always post that they were voting for Trump because of all the wars and conflict that Biden was creating?
I’m not that poster. Israel is at war with Iran. The Russia Ukraine war was raging when Trump took office. Where has Trump gotten us into a war so far? No where.
NUTS!!! WE created ALL this happy horseshit by our constant meddling in other country's business... we can't keep our noses OUT. The CIA et al needs to stop. Yes, they will nuke Israel and us given the opportunity. The USA can't keep it's nose out... now we know that we knew Japan was going to bomb Pearl Harbor and we permitted that action so the powers that be could get us into WW2... same crap, different century. These are 100% banker's wars since they support both sides to hedge their bets. Just my 2 cents.
Obama was President Jello
8:31 you definitely need help!
One of the most ignorant & naive comments I've ever heard in my life.
So if we had thousands of missiles aimed & shot at us, you'd do nothing? You're sick!
You're an idiot- Biden was our so-called President when alk this started. Israel & Trump will finish it.
You're finally coming to your senses- along with John Fetterman.
Netanyahu is a thug? He's only protecting his country, something I'd want my President to do!
A second US Navy carrier strike group is moving into the region. Dozens of US refueling air-tanker planes have been moved into the region. Iran is in trouble. Russia is stretched to thin to help and the Chinese are keeping their distance because their focus is Taiwan.
You're right- I'll take it one step further: Victoria Nuland should be in jail
Your President is doing such a thing!
My God, there is hope for you- your 1st Common Sense post in a very long time
