At The New York Sun, Dean Karayanis suggests that Israel has done the world a great favor by single-handedly ending Iran’s nuclear program. He writes:
Israel, in an encore of its raids against other terrorist states with radioactive ambitions, is striking Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. With the regime too close to making good on its apocalyptic threats, Operation Rising Lion is a gift to the world — including, with luck, the Iranian people.
According to press reports on Thursday, Iran has enough uranium to build 15 nuclear bombs within days. Israel’s actions now promise to be what the Conservative Party of Canada’s former leader, Pierre Poilievre, last fall called “a gift by the Jewish state to humanity.”
“For 50 years since radical Islamists took over Iran,” this columnist wrote for The New York Sun in October, “the unelected leaders in Tehran have led chants of ‘Death to America’ and ‘Death to Israel’ while appeasers have shouted back versions of ‘They don’t really mean it.’”
Prime Minister Netanyahu made clear on Thursday night that Iran is “a clear and present danger.” Backing his view is Iran’s insistence on enriching uranium to weapons-grade, rejecting President Trump’s offer to provide nuclear fuel in a version of President Eisenhower’s 1953 Atoms for Peace.
Adding to Israel’s urgency was Thursday’s resolution by the United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency condemning Iran for not complying with its nuclear nonproliferation obligations. Tehran denounced the measure and said they were forging ahead, warning Israel against intervention.
Iran would, it said in a statement by its foreign ministry and national atomic energy agency, “launch a new enrichment center” and upgrade its equipment. It also threatened to abandon the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
Hours later, Israeli jets began their bombing runs. They’ve already eliminated key figures including the chief of staff of Iran’s armed forces, the commander of its Revolutionary Guard, and a dozen nuclear scientists.
