As nuclear talks falter, U.S. officials deny Washington was involved in the strikes.

Watch Ryan Grim and Murtaza Hussain discuss this breaking story on Drop Site’s livestream here.

Israel attacked Iran early on Friday morning, targeting the capital Tehran and other parts of the country with multiple airstrikes in a dramatic escalation of its regional war. Explosions were reported in cities home to major sites connected to the Iranian nuclear program. Initial reports indicate that Israel may have targeted the homes of Iranian political and military officials, as well as figures related to its nuclear program. Iranian state TV reported that a number of senior officials were killed, including the commander-in-chief of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Hossein Salami.

On June 12, Israel launched an overnight attack on Iran, killing senior military officials, targeting military infrastructure including nuclear sites, and killing civilians. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the operation, dubbed “Operation Rising Lion”, would carry on until the threat is neutralized.

An attack on Iran is justified by the alleged threat of Iran developing a nuclear weapon. However, America’s intelligence services confirm that Iran is not developing a nuclear weapon. A deal can be made with Iran that includes inspections, although the US now demands that Iran also abandon its civilian nuclear power. As a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), Iran is not allowed to develop nuclear weapons, but the treaty permits Iran to develop a civilian nuclear program. It is the US that breaches the NPT by attempting to deny Iran’s right to a civilian nuclear program. Furthermore, linking the nuclear negotiations to reducing Iran’s military capabilities and partnership with Yemen, Hezbollah and Hamas is a way to use the nuclear issue to push for Iran’s capitulation.

The attack on Russia’s nuclear deterrent likely occurred with the support from Western intelligence services and governments. Justifying an attack on nuclear forces by the right for self-defence is also an exercise in self-deception. This represented a huge step toward nuclear war and the elimination of arms control.
