Report States Israel Will Attack Iran’s Military, Not Nuclear Program
Well, the original source is the NY Times, so, take that with a grain of salt
Israel to refrain from attacking Iran’s nuclear sites, focus on military targets, sources say
Israel is not expected to attack Iran’s nuclear program but rather focus on various kinds of military bases and intelligence sites, The Jerusalem Post has learned, following a New York Times report on the issue.
Confronted with the Times report, sources did not deny the thrust of it, which predicted that Israel’s retaliation against Iran for its massive October 1 strike on the Jewish state would fall more in the medium range of attack scenarios.
Further, the Post understands that Israel’s attack on Iran – which virtually all top Israeli officials have publicly promised – will still be much more substantial than its narrower retaliation on April 19, when Iran’s S-300 anti-aircraft missile system was damaged.
Despite being presented with the idea that the current context could be a once-in-50-years opportunity to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities, sources indicated that attacking Iran’s nuclear program would not necessarily be consistent with the “goals of the war” as set by the security cabinet.
For example, while the most stated goal of the war is to defeat Hamas, and returning Israel’s northern residents to the Lebanon border in security has also been discussed a lot lately, another formal goal is not to be dragged into a regional war, especially with Iran, the Post understands.
There’s a supposed concern that if Israel blows up Iran’s nuclear weapons program it could lead to regional war, which would be a distraction from finishing off Hamas and Hezbollah. But, is the NY Times report true? Or, did they just make it up? Only time will tell.
Meanwhile, here’s the view from Mary Robinson, former Ireland president, oh, and globalist and Israel hater
A Ceasefire Is Just the Start. Here’s How to End the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Once and for All
One year on from the appalling, unjustifiable Oct. 7 Hamas attacks and Israel’s ongoing, disproportionate military assault and atrocities in Gaza, the whole Middle East is on the brink of a catastrophic regional war.
The most urgent priorities are to secure a full and immediate ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon, wider de-escalation by Israel and Iran, and the release of all remaining hostages held by Hamas as well as arbitrarily detained Palestinian prisoners.
But beyond this, bold, principled actions, and long-view leadership are needed to bring a permanent end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that has raged for over 75 years and remains at the heart of regional tensions and instability. The best way to achieve this is still a two-state solution based on self-determination, sovereignty, and security for both peoples.
Most of this screed blames Israel, because Jew haters will always be Jew haters. There’s very little condemnation for Iran, and barely any mention of terrorism by groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, the latter of which is not even mentioned. It’s mostly about how mean Israel is, and how their government needs to be changed. But, let’s say there is a two state solution with self determination by the Palestinians: how does that stop attacks, especially if Hamas is still the government? Iran is a separate nation and attacks Israel. Hezbollah works out of Lebanon, a separate state. Israel haters will always put the blame on Israel (which isn’t perfect, just like all nations and people).
It’s a simple concept: stop attacking Israel. Stop giving aid, comfort, and shelter to Islamic terrorist groups. If Hamas hadn’t attacked there would be no war.
