Israel vs Iran: The Battle for World Peace
Israel’s strikes against Iran maintain US credibility on the world stage without bringing other powers into the fray, while preventing the threat of World War Three that would arise from a nuclear-armed Iran. Opinion.

Israel vs Iran. A battle the whole world knew was coming for 20 years, a battle that was inevitable the moment then-Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad dropped all pretences of moderation and began openly calling for the annihilation of Israel on the world stage. But no one expected it to look like this.
The blow Israel struck in the early morning hours on Friday will go down as one of the greatest – if not the greatest – pre-emptive strikes in military history, rivalling or surpassing the opening shots of the Six Day War nearly 60 years ago. Iranian nuclear facilities were struck, nuclear scientists were assassinated, and senior military leaders were killed. Overnight, Iran’s military power was decimated and its nuclear ambitions set back by at least a year.
This attack was completely necessary and justified. According to American and Israeli intelligence, Iran had enriched enough uranium for nearly ten nuclear bombs and was approaching the point of no return. Any further delay could have led to global catastrophe and the ascension of the world’s foremost sponsor and spreader of terrorism to nuclear power status.
