Israel Has Seriously Considered Attacking Iran's Nuclear Program Multiple Times
(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - Following Iran's second missile attack on Israel on October 1, 2024, Jerusalem seriously considered taking out Tehran's nuclear program at the time. Israel's air force was confident that it could pull off such an operation, following its successful retaliatory attacks on Iran in April 2024 and on the Houthis in Yemen, which is even farther away. But top Israeli officials were not ready to carry out such an operation without U.S. approval. The leak of Israeli plans to the New York Times appears to be an American attempt to send a message to Khamenei about how close he came to losing his nuclear program and how close he could come if the current nuclear talks do not succeed.
