Why Israel poses such a grave threat to the world

This past Saturday US envoy Steve Witkoff held a third round of indirect talks with Iranian officials in Oman. A fourth round is scheduled for May 3. The subject of the talks is to ensure that Iran doesn’t develop a nuclear weapon.

That Iran is “on the brink” of developing the ‘bomb’ has been Netanyahu’s battle cry to get the US to attack Iran on Israel’s behalf for at least 20 years.

In 2005:

In 2012:

Yet last month’s 2025 US intelligence threat assessment report concluded that Iran is not building a nuclear bomb.

In 2017 Trump withdrew the US from the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) agreement that was designed to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and to which Iran was adhering. So it’s a remarkable testament to Tehran’s restraint that it hasn’t yet developed the bomb, particularly in light of Israel’s string of high level assassinations, its bombing of the Iranian consulate in Damascus in April, its murder of Hamas’ political chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in July and its October attack on Tehran.

Who knows if, in an attempt to disrupt the US/Iranian nuclear talks, Israel was behind the massive explosion at Iran’s largest civilian port over the weekend that has so far killed 40 and injured over 1200.

Israel is demanding that Iran cease all uranium enrichment, dismantle its entire nuclear programme and surrender up its conventional weapons.

Meeting these demands would be tantamount to Iran surrendering its sovereignty - it just won’t happen. Why shouldn’t Iran have the legal right to enrich uranium for civilian purposes just as non-nuclear weapons states Japan, Argentina, Brazil, Germany, and the Netherlands do, not to mention the group of nuclear-armed nations that include Israel and the UK?

Which brings me to the real elephant in the room. Israel is the only state in the Middle East with nuclear weapons. It’s estimated that it has 90 warheads with enough fissile material to make another 200.

Israel has never formally acknowledged that it has nuclear weapons or that it stole the technology from the Apollo Pennsylvania plant of the Nuclear Materials and Equipment Corporation (NUMEC) in 1965. Neither Presidents Eisenhower or Kennedy wanted Israel to procure the bomb because they understood how dangerous that would be for the Middle East.

Not only does Israel have the bomb, it has threatened to use it. Last year Israel’s Minister of Heritage openly called for Israel to drop a nuclear bomb on Gaza.

Another prospect that should terrify every sane person is that Israel has said it won’t hesitate to use the “Samson option”, which means retaliating with nuclear weapons against any non-nuclear force or nation that defeats it conventionally. (This is named after the Biblical figure Samson who killed himself and his enemies by collapsing the pillars of the temple where they stood - a murder suicide.)

In 2012, Professor John Mearsheimer said that he believed the Middle East would be more stable if Iran had a nuclear weapon:

Nuclear weapons are weapons of peace, weapons of deterrence, they have hardly any offensive capability at all. And if Iran had a nuclear deterrent, there is no way that Israel or the US would be threatening to attack Iran now, in the same way that if Saddam had had nuclear weapons in 2003 the US would not have invaded Iraq, and if Libya had nuclear weapons in 2011 the US would not have gone to war against Libya. So I think that if you had a Middle East where other states besides Israel, and this of course includes Iran, had a nuclear deterrent it would be a more peaceful region. But the problem is there is always some small possibility that there will be nuclear use.

So the safest Middle East would be a nuclear free Middle East. And that’s what Iran has proposed. Only the US and Israel refuse to even discuss the possibility.

And consider why Iran hasn’t developed a nuclear weapon to date. First, Iran is a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (Israel is not). Second, the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei’s religious edict or fatwa forbids the use of nuclear weapons and all other Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) because they’re a sin, useless, costly and a pose a serious threat to humanity.

Let’s be frank. The real reason Israel won’t get behind a ban on nuclear weapons in the Middle East is because it would take away its ability to threaten everyone else. Israel’s real goal is regime change in Iran because it cannot tolerate any challenge to its hegemony.

We should all be outraged with the western ‘leaders’ who have so obsequiously supported the criminally insane Zionist entity, putting the entire world in grave danger.
