KLIK SAJA - Last Friday, the world was once again shaken by one of the most intense geopolitical escalations in recent decades: Israel launched a large-scale military assault on Iranian territory.
Shortly after the attack, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a speech in English, directly addressing the people of Iran.
He urged them to rise up against what he described as a "wicked and oppressive regime."
Netanyahu claimed that the main reason for the attack was to halt Iran’s alleged development of nuclear weapons—an existential threat, according to him, to the state of Israel.
But the critical question remains: Does Iran truly possess nuclear weapons, or is this another politically charged narrative constructed by Zionist Israel to serve strategic interests?
Netanyahu’s political career has long been marked by his mission to “warn the world” of the dangers posed by the Islamic Republic of Iran.
From cartoonish bomb diagrams at the United Nations to persistent claims of imminent nuclear threat, he has made Iran’s nuclear ambitions a central pillar of his political and military agenda.
However, not all in the international community align with Netanyahu’s view.
Even several U.S. presidents—including Donald Trump—have refused to authorize military action against Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Still, Netanyahu forged ahead, plunging Israel into a high-stakes confrontation that could reshape the regional order.
The Israeli strikes were met with widespread condemnation from countries across the region and international organizations, including the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi reaffirmed that nuclear facilities “must never be attacked under any circumstances.” Under international law, such military actions are considered illegal.
So, is Iran's nuclear program truly the existential threat Netanyahu claims it to be?
Iran has consistently denied accusations of pursuing nuclear weapons.
