Thanks to Trump and Netanyahu, everyone now wants to go nuclear
Pourquoi c'est important
The article critiques Israel's military actions in Gaza and southern Lebanon, and questions the credibility of Prime Minister Netanyahu's long-standing warnings about Iran's nuclear program. It suggests that the current conflict might incentivize Iran to pursue nuclear weapons.
And, talking about extermination, what Israel has been doing in Gaza and southern Lebanon speaks for itself.
People have long been used to Netanyahu crying wolf with his unrelenting but specious warnings about Iran’s nuclear programme for almost as long as he has been in office.
Now, perhaps due to the sheer criminality and brutality of the joint Israeli-American war, even some Western media outlets have become, if not sympathetic, at least less critical of a potentially nuclear-armed Iran. Others are warning of a new round of nuclear proliferation among so-called middle powers.
“Iran didn’t have a nuclear weapon before this war. But you can see why it would develop one now,” reads a headline by Guardian columnist Simon Tisdall. “If lawless aggression by ‘might is right’ nuclear-armed powers spreads unchecked, what other option do middle-ranking countries have?”
