What does that have to do with Israel bombing Iran right now? I just see people performing absurd mental gymnastics to invent unfounded qualifications for going to war.

Iran has declared it wants Israel destroyed, attacked it via it's proxies and been working on making weapons grade uranium. Israel not wanting to be destroyed or nuked has arranged to attack Iran's nuke facilities. Is it that complicated?
