Does the fact that Iran is a pariah state who have funded a proxy war against Israel for many years justify this action? Netanyahu is portraying it as retaliation, some as preventative and others as provocative.
From all I hear Iran remains a very long way from actually being able to build a bomb, let alone deliver or test it. This then is Israel taking the opportunity to strike them when their ability to retaliate is diminished and in the hope it may provoke regime change.
I think it’s more likely to build resentment towards both Israel and the USA ultimately making things more dangerous. Rather than encourage regime change it could improve the standing of the government, especially if they threw some tid bits out to it’s population.
Regime change is what is needed. Destroyed facilities can be rebuilt, assassinated generals replaced. So I am unsure whether this show of strength is ultimately going to produce any improvement, or whether it’s another self preservation exercise by Netanyahu. Let alone whether it is legal.
