“We only targeted his nuclear plants.” Vance argued that America’s war is not with Iran, but with its nuclear program. He also advised Iran to accept Trump’s peace talks. This statement seems like the Indian government’s justification, which after the attack in Pakistan said that we did not attack Pakistan, but only terrorist sites. But just as Pakistan denied India’s statement, Iran also rejected this American justification. Pakistan shot down Indian aircraft and dropped bombs on the Indian border with drones. Iran warned the US of retaliation. Some Americans believe that by carrying out these attacks, Trump gave Israel an excuse to back down. Israel’s aim was to prevent Iran from building a nuclear bomb, which the US did. Trump claimed that by dropping bombs on three sites, Iran’s nuclear capability was destroyed. But defense experts say that these attacks did not cause any major damage to Iran’s capability, as if India’s attacks were only symbolic.
The difference is that India pleased its Hindutva public, while the US Netanyahu. Netanyahu has been inciting the US to bomb Iran since the beginning. Trump hesitated at first, asking for a 15-day reprieve, but sent bombers that same night. After the attacks, Western countries asked Iran to make peace. The Indian government also advised Iran to exercise restraint, not Israel or the US. Was the aim only to prevent Iran from building a nuclear bomb?
Netanyahu has clearly stated that his goal is to change the regime in Iran. He has assassinated Iranian military officers and threatened to kill Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. Trump has also talked about assassinating Khamenei. Gideon Levi asks: Does a country have the right to assassinate the head of another country? Does it have the right to overthrow the regime? If Trump can say this, can’t anyone say it about Trump? If Netanyahu can talk about assassinating Khamenei, why can’t we talk about assassinating Netanyahu? Levi further asks which scientists are justified in killing? Why Iranian nuclear scientists? Why not Israeli scientists? He writes that any demand for the assassination of presidents by any party is wrong. Netanyahu is responsible for thousands of deaths in Gaza. Is the demand for his assassination justified?
Many Israelis think that he is a dictator, destroying the country. But the idea of assassinating him should not even be considered.”
Unfortunately, no one is asking the question why Israel has the right to possess nuclear bombs and not Iran?
In the last 40 years, Israel has not fought as many wars as Iran. Then who is the bigger threat?
Why is Israel not disarmed? This question is being raised by some Israeli intellectuals, but this is not a discussion in other countries. Countries like India are not asking this question either. The US has been given the right to unilaterally decide which country will attack, who can develop nuclear energy. Is it now certain that whoever has the most bombs will rule the world? Has the principle of independence and sovereignty of nations been abandoned?
