US and Israel's war on Iran triggers global nuclear proliferation fears
The US and Israel, after waging war on the pretext of preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons, have ignited a new arms race. Israel's actions in Gaza and southern Lebanon are cited as examples of brutality. Netanyahu's long-standing warnings about Iran's nuclear program are now seen as less credible. Western media outlets, including a Guardian column by Simon Tisdall, suggest Iran may now seek nuclear weapons in response to aggression. The article warns of potential nuclear proliferation among middle powers.
