Anyone with a functioning brain knows that. Unfortunately British fans of Israel who moan about immigration and small boats, want to see Iran turned into Iraq circa 2003. Not the brightest people.

How would you know you're under 'imminent' threat from a country's bomb programme? Surely the point is to stop them long before they get to that point? If it's now imminent then you're too late.

"The hypocrisy is blindingly obvious." Trump says the joint U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran will "eliminate" the imminent threat of a nuclear bomb. But Iran does not have nuclear weapons. The only country in the Middle East that does is ... Israel.

Magaziner: The administration has not given us any evidence—I've gone to every briefing, classified briefings and otherwise—that Iran was plotting an imminent threat against the United States, an imminent attack, any evidence that they were close to getting a nuclear weapon? None. This is an unnecessary war

Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) says he stands by the 2025 Annual Threat Assessment by U.S. intelligence leaders who testified at the time that Iran had not reauthorized their nuclear weapons program. “There was no imminent threat to the United States, and I don't believe there was even an imminent threat to Israel from Iran,” he tells Margaret Brennan. “Over a period of time, particularly with the ballistic missile capability, Israel would be more under threat. The decision to go to war in this case was a choice by President Trump.”

The strikes on Iran have Temu Obama PANICKING. "Having been briefed now, not once, but twice, there is no evidence that has been presented to us that the United States was under threat of imminent attack from Iran. Zero evidence of that. In fact, many members of the administration have actually publicly admitted that. So if, in fact, that was the case, it’s hard for the American people to understand the rationale for launching a preemptive war in the Middle East that has now spread to more than half a dozen countries and resulted in the death of at least six brave, courageous, heroic service members. That’s unacceptable."

“If a [nuclear] weapon is a year away, you cannot say we're under imminent threat— that does not give you a right to self-defense.” Mehdi Hasan explains to Piers Morgan why Israel’s strikes on Iran were preventive, not preemptive — and therefore illegal under international law.

Rand Paul: "Really, the debate now should be, is a 47 year old conflict an imminent threat? Were there changes in their nuclear program that made this an imminent threat? And I don't think the evidence is there that this was an imminent threat that would allow the president to go to war on his own."

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 Tucker Carlson on Rubio’s justification for the preemptive strikes on Iran: “He says we didn’t know Iran was going to attack. Iran would only retaliate if Israel struck first… And in that retaliation, U.S. forces could be targeted. So the "imminent threat" being described is ISRAEL, NOT IRAN.”
