ISLAMABAD: According to Tel Aviv, Israel attacked Iran in order to stop it from acquiring nuclear weapons. Whether this is true or not, one of the main questions raised by this circumstance is whether Iran’s absence of nuclear weapons threatens the regime’s survival.
Israeli strikes targeted Iran’s nuclear plants in particular, killing top military officials and important scientists.
Furthermore, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) concluded that Iran was not fulfilling its nonproliferation obligations just hours before Israel’s attack.
Experts believe that one of Iran’s choices following the strikes may be to carry on producing nuclear weapons, which Israel views as a “existential threat.”
