This was never about nuclear weapons.
For almost four decades, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has tried to convince the world that Iran is moments away from acquiring a nuclear bomb. Yet every time the possibility of a deal emerged — every moment when monitoring and restrictions could have brought transparency — Israel worked tirelessly to kill it. The truth? This is not about disarmament. This is about regime change.
Israel has launched an assault that it falsely labels “pre-emptive.” Its leaders claim Iran was poised to build a bomb. The evidence? None. Just like the fabricated charges that justified the invasion of Iraq in 2003, this war rests on speculation and terror.
The United States’ own intelligence confirms that Iran halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003, and its religious authorities forbid it. The IAEA has long said Iran complied with the agreement. Yet the lies came pouring forth, painting a picture that suits Israel and its allies.
This war is about destroying the Axis of Resistance. Not about weapons. Not about security. But about reshaping the Middle East. Israel knows it can’t eradicate Iran’s deeply buried nuclear facilities. So why launch this war? To claim victory, rally the faithful, and justify aggression. To ignite chaos and stir a crisis that could drag America and the rest of the world into the flame.
But what if this gamble goes too far? What if this war doesn’t break Iran but hardens it — prompting it to seek the very weapon Israel fears? What if this ends not with regime change in Tehran, but with the fall of Israel’s own fragile grip?
A dark storm is gathering. The Middle East teeters on the edge, and no one can say where the fallout will land.
