We should be clear about the reason for the necessity of Israel's attack on Iran's nuclear facilities.

Trump Abandons Iran Nuclear Deal He Long Scorned​

WASHINGTON — President Trump declared on Tuesday that he was withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal, unraveling the signature foreign policy achievement of his predecessor Barack Obama, isolating the United States from its Western allies and sowing uncertainty before a risky nuclear negotiation with North Korea.

The decision, while long anticipated and widely telegraphed, leaves the 2015 agreement reached by seven countries after more than two years of grueling negotiations in tatters. The United States will now reimpose the stringent sanctions it imposed on Iran before the deal and is considering new penalties.

Mr. Trump’s announcement drew a chorus of opposition from European leaders, several of whom lobbied him feverishly not to pull out of the agreement and searched for fixes to it that would satisfy him.

It also drew a rare public rebuke by Mr. Obama, who said Mr. Trump’s withdrawal would leave the world less safe, confronting it with “a losing choice between a nuclear-armed Iran or another war in the Middle East.”
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/08/world/middleeast/trump-iran-nuclear-deal.html

May 8 marked two years since President Trump formally withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), better known as the Iran nuclear deal, while maintaining that “t is the policy of the United States that Iran be denied a nuclear weapon and intercontinental ballistic missiles.” Since then, the Trump Administration unilaterally re-imposed crippling sanctions on Iran and antagonized our allies by forcing them to comply or risk financial isolation. They have also wasted valuable time trying to disassemble the Iran nuclear deal rather than pursuing negotiations to address its concerns. Now, the United States is scrambling to respond to the impending end of a United Nations (UN) arms embargo linked to the nuclear deal.

In retaliation for the Trump Administration’s decision to leave the JCPOA, Iran incrementally stepped back from compliance with the deal one year later — beginning in May 2019 — and our allies have resisted calls to punish Iran over its legitimate grievances. Iran’s proximity to a nuclear weapon capability has gradually increased due to the Trump Administration’s policies, and Iran is now roughly six months away from having enough weapons-grade fissile material for a nuclear bomb. When President Trump took office, Iran was about a year from that milestone. As a whole, the Trump Administration’s withdrawal from the JCPOA and “maximum pressure” strategy has gotten the United States no closer to its stated goals.

Long story short, trump's petulance in tearing up a long negotiated, multi-nation agreement with Iran and subsequent failure to reach a new one is what caused Israel's destruction of Iran's nuclear development capabilities. Heightening already tense relations between Israel and Iran.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Trump didn't abandon anything.

Netanyahu ignored Trump's pleas to let the diplomatic process play out. Netanyahu felt that the time had come to stop Iran's nuclear ambitions once and for all.

This thread is blatantly dishonest.

The private deal that Obama and the mullahs made was never ratified by the US Senate, so Trump wasn't bound by it.

Iran was ignoring the "Deal" from the moment the ink dried on it.

Iran cannot be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons … if we don’t care enough to stop it … we can’t get in Israel’s way.

They’ve got too much skin in the game.

Excellent, we stopped Obama and the democrats starting a nuclear war.

Trump is serious when he speaks.

He was able to hold off his friends for 60 days, to help out the Iranian mullahs, but now they chose to be bombed and to lose their top military leaders by their own inaction.

Yes, concur. Along with the Jews demand that Iran be reminagined no matter what. Israel had a hit list of countries in the Middle East they wanted taken down. Iran was the last country on that list.

The international community doesn't take him seriously. They know what he is. One just has to look at overseas commentary to see their opinion of him. Hell, he just reneged on trade deals with two of our closest allies/trading partners.

Israel attacked military/nuclear-related installations and individuals only. Something tells me that Iran's retaliation will not be so
fair or precise.

 

[Dekster]

Iran ignored the Clinton deal; Iran ignored the Obama deal. There is no realistic reason to think they would honor a Trump deal. They will eventually have nuclear weapons with or without US/Israeli consent. North Korea showed that the US is a paper tiger on this issue.
