Memo to Iran: The Only Thing That Will Stop Bibi Is a Nuclear Bomb
The Iranians have proven beyond dispute that they are capable of delivering large-warhead hypersonic strikes with high accuracy. And while it remains to be seen how many of these top-shelf missiles they truly possess and what their rate of production is, the bottom line is that Iran has achieved a major strategic victory which carries a strong deterrence effect in its wake. With each passing month, the Iranians will grow stronger – and the Israelis will become more desperate to try to do something about it. I doubt making peace will be on their agenda.

If Iran had a nuclear weapon, Israel would never have launched its attack on June 13. That is the one irrefutable fact that should guide Iranian decision-making in the future. Nukes equal security. It’s that simple.

Israel can only be deterred by superior firepower, that should be clear by now. Had Israel known that Iran had a stockpile of nukes at its disposal, they never would have launched their decapitation operation that assassinated numerous scientists, military leaders and politicians. By failing to develop nuclear weapons, Iran invited Israel’s aggression. Iran’s leaders must accept responsibility for that failure. Had they acted differently and developed the weaponry required for the country’s defense, there would have been no 12-day war. Iran’s perceived vulnerability prompted Israeli adventurism. This is from an article by Reuters on Wednesday:
Netanyahu wants to use more force, a source familiar with the Israeli leader’s thinking said, compelling Tehran—to the point of government collapse if necessary…. Netanyahu wants nothing less than the Libya model for Iran, the source said. That means Iran fully dismantling its nuclear and missile facilities under strict oversight, and renouncing uranium enrichment on its soil even for c
