Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities would cause 'local contamination'

Would it be unfair to suggest:
This is entirely regrettable, but if it comes to a choice between that and Iran having access to nuclear ballistic missiles there really is no choice.

The Iranian nuclear program needs stopped before they become a full nuclear power. The Iranians with a transcontinental nuclear ballistic missile, is a extremely worrying thought.

[DavidGetling]

Local contamination is vastly preferable to the kind of contamination we will see if Iran succeeds in developing nukes!

[Kenneth-pb]

Highly important to remove any nuclear capability from this highly aggressive and unstable government, as carried out previously.

When Iran, through its proxy Hamas, attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, and took hostages, they thought Israel would do anything to get back the hostages.... However, they counted without the courage, resilience, intelligence, and strength of Israel's commander in chief Netanyahu who was then faced with the "trolley dilemma": to sacrifice a few for the good of the whole country or to sacrifice the country for the good of a few....Many Israelis were and still are ready to sacrifice the whole country for a few hostages, which is understandable if those hostages are family Netanyahu chose to save the whole country and try to eradicate Hamas and Hezbollah from the neighborhood. Hopefully, He will also change Iran's

Local, as you say? I can live with local contamination in Iran...

9:57 Iran did not use any nerve agents or chemical bombs. It was Saddam Hussein’s Iraq that used them against Iranians and its own people’s uprising, or the Kurdish people whom he was concerned about rising up against him.

Better there then another country where they plan on sending them

I'm just astounded that the US has been so impotent in allowing Iran to go this far.
Thank G-d for Israel 🇮🇱

[ChanCarnix]

why on earth has Iran been allowed to get to this stage ? Its been bureaucratic incompetence at every single step. Someone with the belligerence of khameini should've been prevented decades ago.

Putin said he would give weapons to his enemy’s enemies.

YOU CANT MAKE AN OMELETTE WITHOUT BREAKING EGGS

[jerryantonies]

Spot on great job very correct. Israel knows everything it’s impossible to allow Iran a nuclear weapon. Do the math.

[stevenkaufman]

Local? Not sure what's the problem?

[Digimedianews]

Bottom line: a regime change in Iran has become an absolute and immediate necessity and a coalition of Western democracies should not leave Israel to handle it alone. Israel is the canary in the coal mine and Europe and the US will be for sure next on the Iranian agenda. That is where antisemitism becomes a huge vulnerability by preventing a rational decision and directing instead the blame to Israel, not realizing that the threat is really against the West.

[jerrybrown]

The contamination is Iran problem not Israel.

[MrZZooh]

And Iranian counter strikes on Dimona can cause "nationwide" contamination.

[urgardista]

IMPOSSIBLE to cause a nuclear explosion not UNLIKELY. And local contamination would be negligible as these facilities are all deep underground protected in other ways too. Actually damaging them significantly and multiple places is I think close to impossible. But we will see it soon.

[rdowsnv]

Sounds like Iran’s problem not our problem.

[RoyalBlue]

Am I right in saying that America said that North Korea couldn't make a nuclear bomb?
