Iran–Israel war

TLDR; Israel did strike Iran to remove the nuclear threat, but that doesn't exclude that it wants the US to actively help it. You are correct that Iran's strategy for decades has been to "flirt" with a nuclear bomb as leverage. However, Israeli intelligence over the past month has obtained evidence that they're breaking out of that pattern and taking active steps that they hadn't before towards constructing a nuclear device in a short amount of time. Whether you believe them or not is up to you, you have no way to corroborate or deny, but consider that thousands of people had to work for months to obtain this information and it's very hard to keep a blatant lie secret at that scale. However, you are wrong that Israel cannot significantly damage the Iranian nuclear program. They have taken out a crucial plant to process uranium gas into metal, which already takes the Iranians months if not years away from constructing a bomb. While they cannot easily take out the underground facilities at Fordow easily with a few MOP bombs, they can batter it with smaller bunker busters for weeks until it's destroyed. Everyone focuses on the idea that Israel is using the US in its plans, but nobody is discussing the very real possibility that Trump and the US are using Israel as leverage in its negotiations. A nuclear Iran is a threat to the US and something that all presidents have promised to prevent. The ideal outcome from Trump's POV is a negotiated settlement where Iran hands away all its highly enriched uranium, Fordow is blown up, and the ability to enrich uranium is taken away. Normally the US would have had to apply the military option itself, in this timeline Israel is and Israeli civilians are paying the price. More on reddit.com

ill try to be as apolitical and objective as i can here. for my subjective opinion, click my profile. thanks! 😇 Israel refused to join the Non-Proliferation Treaty, while Iran did. Then when it was obvious that Israel would never join the NPT, Iran de facto backed out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_on_the_Non-Proliferation_of_Nuclear_Weapons The only way to really get Iran to agree to the NPT and inspections is if Israel is forced to do it too. Which would then require Israel to get rid of its nukes that it stole from the USA. https://thebulletin.org/2014/04/did-israel-steal-bomb-grade-uranium-from-the-united-states/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapons_and_Israel afaik. Western countries have never applied an iota of pressure on Israel to sign the NPT or allow for IAEA inspectors in. More on reddit.com

Can't wait for the reddit idiots acting like they know everything a are very adamant about what side evil and what good. Thinking they have THE solution to 100 years of conflict More on reddit.com

There's no way Israel started this operation without having a plan to destroy Fordo. Shaldag was training for this last month- that seems like an insane mission but they were training for it. As far as a lend/lease situation, B-2s are not planes a pilot can just get into and fly. It would take a long training period. More on reddit.com
