Why Israel Had No Choice
(UnHerd) Edward Luttwak - Rafael Mariano Grossi of Argentina has been director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) since Dec. 2019. His reports made it increasingly clear that Iran's enormous expenditures on some of the largest nuclear installations in the world meant that it was after nuclear weapons as soon as possible. Grossi started warning everyone that Iran would soon become a nuclear power, one ruled by religious fanatics pursuing the Shi'a vendetta against the world's Sunnis for killing the last descendant of Muhammad at Karbala in 680 CE, and for whom the destruction of Israel is key to supremacy over the entire Middle East. The entire Israeli Defense Ministry leadership, alongside the Mossad, came to understand that their country would very soon be faced with a nuclear Iran that would come to dominate the entire Middle East, including Egypt, Jordan, the UAE, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia.
