Is Israel’s War on Iran Justified_

Is Israel fighting a justified war against Iran? Or is it wholly unprovoked and utterly illegal war of aggression? The war being fought between Israel and Iran raises many complex legal and political issues. Is it merely an act of aggression, as many suggest, or is there a defensive element, as Israel and many of its allies insist? And why does the question of legality matter so much?

I then tackle one of the most contentious and long-standing issues in Middle Eastern geopolitics: Israel’s undeclared nuclear arsenal. Why is Israel allowed to possess nuclear weapons while Iran is consistently denied that right? I examine the history of nuclear proliferation in the region, the role of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), and the political double standards that influence global non-proliferation policy. Is the current system fair, or is it a reflection of unequal power dynamics in international relations? And why does the world reject efforts by Iran to gain nuclear weapons, but then accept Israel's nuclear weapons?
