Why Israel Hit Iran: We Believe the Threats from the Tyrants of Tehran
(New York Post) Israeli UN Ambassador Danny Danon - When the tyrants in Tehran declare that the State of Israel is a "cancerous tumor" that must be eradicated, we believe them. When the regime displays a massive clock in Tehran counting down the time until Israel's destruction, we believe them. When the Islamic Republic's leaders chant proudly "Death to Israel" and "Death to America," we believe them. While the world dismissed these threats, Israel did not. Can the world recognize the difference between an aggressor bent on destruction and a nation fighting for its survival? Israel's decision to launch Operation Rising Lion was born of necessity. At every stage, Israel waited for diplomacy to work, waited for the international community to act. But Israel cannot afford the luxury of denial. Not after the horrors of Oct. 7. That day laid bare the genocidal intent at the core of the ideology of Iran's regime. The Iranian regime is the orchestrator of regional instability, the godfather of international terror, and the most immediate nuclear threat to global peace. Israel has done what the world should have done long ago. Never Again is not a slogan. It is our policy.
