Israel Launches strike against Irans Nuclear Programme

Total obliteration. Trump and his silly use of words not needed. It was a very terrible situation!!!

Seemed to me that they were using the threat of obtaining nuclear weapons (which they are morally entitled to do) as a threat to back up their aims.

I see no easy (or not so easy answer to the problem) since their position is not being ackowledged as valid and yet cannot be prevented.

It seems this is a question of delaying the inevitable unless there is an authority in Iran that agrees to play by its enemies" rules for the sake of pragmatism and that this "concession" is rewarded.

I suspect that the only plan going the rounds now is to kick the ball into touch and hope that by the time Iran has achieved a military nuclear ability that the situation may have somehow become more manageable.

Of course things may well have actually deteriorated further by then...

A threat of obtaining nuclear weapons is a breach of international law on nuclear non-proliferation.

I didn't know that but the threat is implied and not explicit.

The regime has always denied that it has aims to build a bomb but everyone knows that they are in practice working towards either that end or otherwise to the position of being feared that they could do that.

(Such "illegality" is the least of the things wrong with that regime ,even if they do not hold the monopoly of wretched characteristics in the region or beyond

We seem to have walked into a world order based on the flouting of rules and decent behaviour generally)

Iran should come out and say all the facilities were destroyed biggly. The biggest destruction they have ever seen by the bestest bombs ever etc.... just start massaging his ego so it makes it even harder for Trump to backtrack it new Intel convinces him.

I think the US and Israel have shown that the ICC, Non Proliferation Treaties and other international laws are no longer relevant considering they do as they please while expecting everyone else to adhere to them.

The multipolar world is upon us and it will take a significant amount of diplomacy and dialogue to rebuild trust around the world. The United States is at the end of its hegemony and I suspect a tighter relationship between Europe and China unless the Americans can right their ship quickly.

Indeed, what happens if another Middle Eastern nation decides that Israel's nuclear weapons are 'a threat to our national security'? If there is no such thing as international law (copyright: Zionists and Trump), presumably such an attack on Israel would be absolutely fine.

In a way that Israel have not been? Last I checked, the Yanks just bombed the hell out of Iran for working towards something Israel have had for years. If anyone has been given a free pass, it is clearly the ones who actually have nuclear weapons and didn't get bombed by a world superpower for trying to do so?

Multi polar world and might makes right world likes of Iran wanted

Init?

The way that Israel possesses nuclear weapons would be akin to you having a gun or Semtex hidden under your bed i.e. acquired illegally and flatly denying they are even in possession of them.

Israel confirms Trumps obliteration of Iran's facilities which has set back the Mullahs regime years. Imagine doubting Trumps honesty on this.

im flabbergasted. Israel aren't given free passes when they break international law??

Not only that but Israel threaten that they will use nuclear weapons on various population centres in the event of them possibly losing a conventional war. Insane
