Nuclear Threat Has Israel On Alert
The nation of Israel was essentially created to make certain a second Holocaust never occurs, but with recent developments and rhetoric coming from Iran, the possibility of a mass attack on the Jewish people has never seemed as real as it does today. Iran has defied the international community by continuing to develop nuclear technologies they claim are specifically for energy purposes, but many intelligence agencies believe that the Iranian nuclear programs are being used for a more sinister purpose, nuclear warheads. With the Israeli intelligence sensing Iran is closing in quickly on complete development of a nuclear warhead, the international community sits on pins and needles in anticipation of a possible Israeli strike on Iran.
The tensions between Israel and Iran have never been so close to completely boiling over. Although international sanctions have been placed on Iran over their continued pursuit of a nuclear arsenal, the tone coming out of Tehran has only been one of aggression. Not only have the political figures in control of Iran continued to state that they want the total annihilation of Israel, but they have also pushed the global community by threatening to disrupt oil flow by blocking the Strait of Hormuz.
"The situation between Israel and Iran is something that could very well lead to more instability in a region that has seen massive uprisings with the so-called Arab Spring", explained a political writer for GPS vehicle tracking company GPS Tracker Shop. "The only real question remaining is if Israel cannot convince their strongest world ally, the United States, to attack Iran in a joint effort, will the Israelis attack alone?"
How Long Are Threats Okay?
The world almost witnessed nuclear disaster when Russia attempted to bring missiles to Cuba in one of the most tense moments in world history. Although the Cuban missile crisis was a reality check of what can happen when two countries with nuclear weapons reach a certain height of conflict, Russia never once publicly proclaimed they wanted the mass annihilation of the United States and all American citizens, in the same way Iran has with Israel and it's people. With such threats consistently being spewed from Iranian leadership, Israel is almost being forced to move their hand in an attempt to derail Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. However, with the United States recent withdraw from Iraq, continued occupation of Afghanistan and massive federal deficit all in play during an election year of all years, Israel will most likely be alone in any military action against Iran.
No president coming up for re-election would ever want to risk losing the White House over foreign policy military action, especially when Americans are no longer in support of more war in the Middle East. This puts Israel at an extreme disadvantage, knowing that if they want to avoid Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon that they will need to stage an attack likely in the next few months.
Will Israel attack Iran? Unless Iran decides to cease their nuclear program and change their hostile tone toward Israel, which is likly not to occur, then the answer is a definite yes.
