Ukraine after Russian missile strikesIt has been Israel who has first warned about Iran having nuclear weaponry very soon. Iran and Russia work closely together.
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett warned the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency Friday that Israel was prepared to use it's "right to self defense" to stop Iran's nuclear program.
The comments came after IAEA chief Rafael Grossi met Bennett Friday morning during a whirlwind visit.
Bennett's warning is a reiteration of Israeli vows to do whatever it takes to stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear bomb. It comes with tensions rising over stalled efforts to revive a 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and world powers aimed at preventing Iran from developing such a weapon.
Biden calls the ‘prospect of Armageddon’ the highest since the Cuban missile crisis of October 16, 1962 – October 29, 1962. That was a 35 day crisis confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union, which escalated into an international crisis when American deployments of missiles in Italy and Turkey were matched by Soviet deployments of similar ballistic missiles in Cuba.
Despite the short time frame, the Cuban Missile Crisis remains a defining moment in US national security and nuclear war preparation. The confrontation is often considered the closest the Cold War came to escalating into a full-scale nuclear war. Now Biden felt obligated to warn us all that we are facing a similar situation with Russia once again. Russian leader Vladimir Putin was spotted in
