President Donald Trump has proposed a “Golden Dome” missile defense system, inspired by Israel’s Iron Dome, with plans for completion by the end of his term. In parallel developments, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a military operation against Iran to prevent its nuclear weapons production. Netanyahu stated that Iran has been advancing its uranium enrichment capabilities and is close to developing a nuclear weapon within the next year. He warned that if Iran is not restrained, it could quickly achieve nuclear weapon capability.
The military operation targeted key Iranian sites, including the Natanz enrichment facility and ballistic missile programs, which Netanyahu argued could lead to nuclear armament. He emphasized the urgency of this operation, indicating it would persist until the threat is neutralized. This military action came on the heels of Trump cautioning against a strike while diplomatic negotiations regarding Iran’s nuclear program remained possible. Nevertheless, he signaled that he would not tolerate Iran acquiring nuclear weapons.
In his address, Netanyahu invoked historical references, emphasizing that Israel would not allow itself to become a victim of a nuclear Holocaust, highlighting the existential threat posed by Iran and its potential to equip proxy groups with nuclear capabilities. He appealed to European and American audiences, warning that Iran’s missile technology could eventually threaten U.S. cities. The context of these developments coincides with a critical assessment from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), indicating that Iran is not complying with nuclear nonproliferation obligations, further complicating the already tense situation between the nations involved.
