Israel Prepares Strike on Iran as US Pursues Nuclear Deal

Israel Prepares Strike on Iran as US Pursues Nuclear Deal

The Spin

The military option remains the only reliable way to stop Iran's nuclear program. Iran is at its weakest point in decades following Israeli strikes on its missile facilities and air defenses, combined with sanctions and the decimation of regional proxies. This presents a crucial window of opportunity to eliminate the nuclear threat before any deal legitimizes Iran's enrichment capabilities.

Israel sees this moment as a critical window of opportunity to neutralize Iran's nuclear threat while it's weakened. Any deal that allows Iran to maintain enrichment capabilities poses an existential danger that must be prevented through military action if necessary. The Begin Doctrine requires taking preemptive action against nuclear threats before they fully materialize.

Israel cannot afford to wait and rely on diplomatic agreements that may only temporarily restrict Iran's nuclear capabilities. Given Iran's weakened state and degraded air defenses, there is a critical window of opportunity to eliminate the existential threat posed by its nuclear program through decisive military action. The Begin Doctrine requires preventing hostile states from obtaining nuclear weapons before it's too late.

Military strikes would be dangerously destabilizing and likely ineffective at permanently setting back Iran's nuclear program. Diplomatic negotiations offer the best path forward, with polls showing 69% of Americans prefer a negotiated agreement limiting Iran's program to peaceful purposes under strict monitoring rather than military action that risks regional war.
