Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has told the head of the UN’s nuclear watchdog that the Jewish state is ready to use its “right to self-defense” to prevent Iran from achieving nuclear weapons.
In a meeting with IAEA chief Rafael Grossi on June 3 in Jerusalem, Bennett accused Tehran of deceiving the world about its atomic activities. Bennett “expressed Israel’s deep concern regarding Iran’s continued progress toward achieving nuclear weapons while deceiving the international community by using false information and lies,” his office said in a statement.
The Israeli leader “emphasized the urgent need in mobilizing the international community to take action against Iran, using all means, in order to prevent Iran from achieving nuclear weapons.”
Bennett’s warning comes amid stalled efforts to revive a 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and world powers aimed at preventing Iran from developing atomic weapons. The landmark deal lifted most sanctions in exchange for Iran’s curbing its nuclear activities.
The deal collapsed after President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from the agreement and reinstated biting sanctions on Iran.
Efforts by the administration of President Joe Biden to revive the deal began in Vienna in April last year but have since fizzled out.
Grossi’s visit came after the global nuclear watchdog on May 30 said it still had questions that were “not clarified” despite long-running efforts to get Iran to explain the presence of nuclear material at three undeclared sites.
Bennett said Israel prefers diplomacy but “reserves the right to self-defense and to action against Iran in order to block its nuclear program should the international community not succeed in the relevant time frame.”
Israel was a staunch opponent of the 2015 nuclear deal and welcomed the Trump administration’s unilateral withdrawal from the agreement.
Israel is widely believed to be the only atomic power in the Middle East but the country refuses to confirm or deny that it has nuclear weapons.
Rooting for Israel. I would just LOVE to see the sploading heads with the anti-Semitic Democrats when it does finally happen.
Israel exercising it’s sphere of influence doctrine.
One thing that Iran has said that’s true is it’s desire to commit genocide against Israel and the Jews. That entitles Israel to exercise its right of self defense by itself. Why does the world tolerate the hate and racism that is constantly leveled against Israel? Since when is that okay? This is a world that would have adored the Nazis and the Final Solution.
Stop talking about it and kick their asses!
The Iranians are anxious and fearful. They realize that Mossad, who’s agents are the Iranian Jews who were thrown out and persecuted by the mullahs, are deeply imbedded within Iran. they are capable of not only pinpointing nuclear targets within Iran, but are capable of sabotage and the assassination of key personnel. Iran has not been able to make arrests and the Israelis have been smart enough to keep the identities secret especially from American intelligence. The Israelis know what happened to the CIA’s covert agents in China when they were betrayed by a CIA mole.
Prudent doctrine for any country with hostile adversaries and a healthy interest in self preservation.
Idiot-ridden Biden Administration just sh*t its pants.....
“....the Jewish state is ready to use its “right to self-defense”...”
But, wait!
Isn’t that the same argument Putin used to invade Ukraine??
I thought it was a war crime to invade a sovereign country. Well, maybe it depends on the invader! Right? Selective invasion theory.
Send them $40 billion of our dollars and problem solved.
Let’s hear it for the US State Department and Xiden!
Thorium. Why the f___ did we ever let Iran get uranium?
Some nations are allowed to protect their cultural identities. Others are not. More equal I suppose.
Maybe we could sell them 5 B1 bombers from our storage facility in AZ. They’re jus sitting around doing nothing.
They’d better get busy.
Jerusalem knows how to eliminate the Iranian nuclear bomb threat (and has multiple means of doing so). The reticence is to avoid civilian casualties. But if push comes to shove (and the choice is between Iranian or Israeli casualties), Jerusalem will take the necessary action.
And Obama will undoubtedly make another speech. So, get a good pair of ear plugs ready.
I don’t recall Ukraine threatening to wipe Russia off the map as Iran has Israel.
At least Joe's (Pres Poopie Pants) handlers have experience with changing his pants, just ask the Pope.
p
Maybe they should be looking at John Kerry, who has and is doing everything he can to GIVE NUKES to Iran
President Retard is helping the ragheads nuke up - do what you have to and don’t utter a peep about it to our crooked government 🤪
“I don’t recall Ukraine threatening to wipe Russia off the map as Iran has Israel.”
Okay. I get it. Just don’t offer to blow up your enemy and it will be okay. No matter if your enemy (NATO/US) expands their military coalition right up to your border after promising they would not expand, mobilizes there military for an attack, is offered membership in a military alliance whose stated purpose is your defeat and a country that made two treaties to stop killing their own people who are.native Russians (Minsk agreements).
I get it now. It’s called hypocrisy!
