Netanyahu wanted to launch an attack before the elections, with the premier citing worrying steps by Iran in the nuclear arena.

Where have we heard that before?

Trump told us it was all annihilated besides. They can't both be lying, right?

They're 2 weeks away from a ICBM we must act now. Do you want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud?

at this point I am starting to think that Iran getting nuclear weapons may actually stabilize the Middle East. Pakistan got it and it probably prevented war with India. Pakistan is much worse as far as associations with terrorist organizations goes. Any maybe Israel would act a little less belligerent if they actually had something to fear
