The Middle East is once again in danger of exploding, with massive global geopolitical and economic implications. The leader who bears most responsibility for this is undoubtedly Benjamin Netanyahu.

For years, the Israeli prime minister has doggedly pursued the demise of the Iranian Islamic regime in line with his power interests and his vision of Israel’s security requirements. His stated goal has long been to bring down the “Islamic empire in Iran”, “expand the Abraham Accords with Arabs” and once and for all end the Palestinians’ aspirations for an independent state. As part of this Middle East master plan, he has also zeroed in on Iran’s nuclear program.

But let’s not forget: No concrete evidence exists that Iran has been manufacturing nuclear weapons. In a Congressional hearing earlier this year, the United States’ Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard confirmed this fact. And earlier this week, Rafael Grossi, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said that “on the basis of our evaluation, we came to the conclusion that we could not affirm that there is any systematic effort in Iran to manufacture a nuclear weapon”.

Despite this, Netanyahu continues to insist that Iran is on course to produce nuclear weapons within weeks, and the US is teetering on entering the war in Israel’s support.
