Israel had ‘no choice’ but to attack Iran because it was ‘rushing’ to nuclear bomb, president Isaac Herzog claims
Israel had “no other choice” but to attack Iran because it was proceeding “dramatically” towards a nuclear bomb, Israeli President Isaac Herzog has claimed.
Speaking to a Pro-Israeli Sky News’ Yalda Hakim, he said Iran was “rushing” to the bomb “under disguise”, but was not pushed by Yalda for evidence. and Let’s not forget Israeli PM Netanyahu said the same thing in 1996 about Iran and he also doctored the report that said Saddam Hussain had weapons of mass destruction.
He also suggested the Israeli war cabinet was discussing Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, amid reports that President Donald Trump vetoed a plan to kill him.
It comes as Israel and Iran continue to fire missiles at each other after Israel launched an unprecedented strike on Iran forcing the Iranians to defend themselves and the sovereignty of their nation.
Tehran has long denied that its nuclear program has been attempting to obtain a nuclear weapon.
