On Wednesday, November 2nd, Israel test fired a missile, said to be ballistic, which is also reported to have the range to reach Iran. This comes after a weekend leak of growing support for a preemptive strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities.
While such an attack by Israel against Iran has always been on the table, the news, or at least the reports of an eminent strike have been ramped up.
Iran, for their part, promises that Israel would be punished for such an attack.
To understand why this is much more a hot issue today than, say, a week ago, one must understand what has led to this – and then, what the implications would be should it happen.
