This attack has been years in the making. Nothing pre-emptive or emergency about it. Iran was years away from having a bomb.
Destroying military bases, oil and gas infrastructure, assassinating a nuclear negotiator with the U.S., etc have nothing to do with a nuclear program. It's the assertion of power and hegemony over an enemy. But there is more.
This is about rallying the world of gullibles behind Israel once again. Netanyahu desparately needed to stave off the disapproval, sanctions and ostracism stemming from his genocidal actions in Gaza. The world was waking up.
What better way than to pose again as the saviour of the West, going after big bad Iran that is about to nuke innocent Israelis and who knows who next?
Israel canmot exist without wars and conquest.Therefore it needs impunity, the special blessing it has freely enjoyed but was in danger of losing.
Israel sees its "security" as the right to kill whomever, whenever and wherever it wants and not pay any price. It is reasserting that right in Iran and is "winning".
Though when Israel "wins" millions of brown people end up suffering. But that's just the order of things, right?
I beg people to think. Is that really right?
