Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu doesn’t need Joe Biden’s permission or approval to destroy Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. But as a supposed ally of Israel, it would have been nice if Biden followed through on his promise to „have Israel’s back“ if, as it now appears, Netanyahu is planning to do so.
Economic Times reports a senior analyst for defense strategy at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute that “Israel is likely eyeing Iran’s nuclear facilities.“ If Iran doesn’t have a nuclear weapon, it will shortly.
But at almost every turn since the early days of the war against Hamas, Biden has either actively opposed Israel’s plans or criticized them. He has threatened to withhold military aid from Israel and even suggested we wouldn’t have Israel’s back at the UN.
Iran Watch reports that within one week, Iran could have enough highly enriched (HE) uranium to make five bombs.
For that uranium to pose a nuclear weapon threat, however, it would have to be processed further, and the other components of a successful weapon would have to be ready to receive the processed uranium.
