Israel's 'extreme' option could include targeting Iran's nuclear programme | Maj. Gen. Rupert Jones

"Israel, of course, feels existentially threatened. Iran have just used military force against them. So there is a danger that they will respond."
Israel will be considering how to retaliate against Iran, including the option of attacking their nuclear programme, while also trying to prevent further escalation, Maj. Gen. Rupert Jones tells #timesradio

    I find it ironic for the Iranians to be crying foul over their consulate being attacked. Apparently they have very short memories!!! Does 1979 ring a bell for them? They can’t have it both ways. Zero sympathy here!

    The parallels are severely lacking. Iran attacking US military base, isn’t at all the same as attacking Israeli main land with a largest missile attack in the middle east history. The analogy seriously underestimates the importance of such an attack.

    Few people realize it, but Israel's attack against Iran's Consulate building in Damascus, Syria, twelve days ago was because of intelligence that a high ranking Republican Guard officer who had helped orchestrate the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack against Israel was in that building. He was killed in that attack. Iran felt it was in their national honor to respond. Now that they have fired a barrage of ballistic missiles and drones into Israel, who knows where all this will lead. Israel should not lose sight of its principal strategic aims, namely, to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.

    Why does Israel get to decide who can have nukes or not? What if Iran doesn't want Israel to have nukes? Iran is a sovereign state, and if it wants nukes, it's none of Israel's business. Given the constant threats and sabre rattling from Israel and the US, how can anyone blame Iran for wanting the ultimate deterrence? If they didn't want Iran to have a nuke, they should not have betrayed the Iran deal, because that would have ensured they wouldn't.
