Israel Copies US Invasion of Iraq; Iran’s Defense a Legitimate Right
webangah News Agency: greg Simmons, a university professor and international affairs analyst, wrote in an exclusive op-ed that Israel launched an unjustified attack against iran and its people in the early hours of June 13, 2025. The desperate Zionist regime of Benjamin Netanyahu (born Mileikowsky in Poland)-whose cabinet faces intense political pressure while he himself confronts imprisonment for abuse of power-believes his political survival and personal freedom depend on perpetual war.
Netanyahu attempted to replicate a modified version of the fabricated dossier used to justify America’s illegal 2003 war on Iraq. The timeline for acquiring these alleged weapons-already declared forbidden by religious decree-fluctuated from days to months or even years. The claimed number of warheads also varied, ranging from netanyahu’s cited figure of nine up to fifteen. Lies and fiction cannot legitimize a preemptive strike against Iran, just as they failed to justify America’s immoral invasion of Iraq two decades ago-yet the parallel is glaringly obvious.
Despite efforts to frame israel’s “preemptive” military attack-rooted in the concept of “just war” and backed by Washington despite initial U.S. denials (later retracted)-as lawful or ethical, it remains a script orchestrated by Israel and America. Article 51 of the UN Charter explicitly affirms the inherent right of self-defense, whether individual or collective, against armed aggression toward any UN member state. Defending sovereignty against foreign aggression is both a legal right and a moral duty; no deception can alter this principle enshrined in international law.
Moreover, failure to respond decisively would carry consequences. Israel-notably netanyahu’s regime-would interpret inaction as weakness, emboldening further military escalation against Iran. This dynamic was starkly evident in Syria when Western-backed Al-Qaeda factions refrained from resisting Zionist incursions, leading to expanded territorial occupation. Thus, non-resistance isn’t an option but a path to annihilation.
The belligerent threats posted by Trump on his platform “Truth Social”-exposing not just diplomatic bankruptcy but utter dishonesty-reveal Washington’s conspiracy to coerce Iran into an agreement undermining its national interests through military pressure. Much is at stake: fighting under international law isn’t merely ethical but honorable when defending sovereignty amid existential threats woven into geopolitical gambles over Iran’s security.
