After waging a war on the pretext of stopping Iran from developing nuclear weapons, the US and Israel have ignited a new arms race
And, talking about extermination, what Israel has been doing in Gaza and southern Lebanon speaks for itself.
People have long been used to Netanyahu crying wolf with his unrelenting but specious warnings about Iran’s nuclear programme for almost as long as he has been in office.
Now, perhaps due to the sheer criminality and brutality of the joint Israeli-American war, even some Western media outlets have become, if not sympathetic, at least less critical of a potentially nuclear-armed Iran. Others are warning of a new round of nuclear proliferation among so-called middle powers.
“Iran didn’t have a nuclear weapon before this war. But you can see why it would develop one now,” reads a headline by Guardian columnist Simon Tisdall. “If lawless aggression by ‘might is right’ nuclear-armed powers spreads unchecked, what other option do middle-ranking countries have?”
