The Left’s SELECTIVE Outrage—Nuclear Hypocrisy!

The same UN that claims “climate change” will wipe us out is now warning about contamination from Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites—but it remains curiously silent about the Iranian regime that wanted those weapons in the first place.

At a Glance

• Israel has conducted military strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities at Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow, raising concerns about radioactive contamination.
• The UN’s nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, has warned of possible radiological and chemical contamination from the damage.
• The strikes occurred amid stalled nuclear talks, with the Trump administration opposing Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
• Damage to underground centrifuges at the Natanz facility could release dangerous uranium hexafluoride gas.
• Critics argue the international community is hypocritically focusing on the environmental risk from Israel’s defensive actions rather than the existential threat of a nuclear Iran.

The Left’s Nuclear Hypocrisy

For years, we’ve been told Iran is just pursuing “peaceful nuclear energy” while its leaders chant “Death to America.” Now, when Israel takes defensive action to prevent a radical Islamic regime from getting apocalyptic weapons, the global left is suddenly concerned about environmental impacts. The same people who look the other way as Iran funds terrorism are now clutching their pearls over potential contamination.

Rafael Grossi, the head of the UN’s nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, has suddenly found his voice, warning about “radiological and chemical contamination” from the damaged Natanz installation. As reported by Al Jazeera, this is the same organization that has spent years being blocked and misled by Iranian officials.

Historical Context Matters

What’s conveniently left out of most media coverage is the long history of Israel’s defensive actions against existential threats. In the 1980s, Israel bombed Iraq’s nuclear program, an action that was widely condemned at the time but later quietly appreciated by many.

It’s truly remarkable to hear the EU’s foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, state that “diplomacy, not military action” is the way to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons—this after decades of failed diplomacy and broken agreements. The Iranian regime has made it clear it has no intention of abandoning its nuclear ambitions.

The Real Environmental Threat

If we’re genuinely concerned about environmental catastrophe, perhaps we should focus on the apocalypse that would result from nuclear weapons in the hands of the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism. The same environmentalists hyperventilating about possible contamination from Israeli strikes seem unconcerned about the environmental impact of Iranian nuclear weapons.

The West’s mealy-mouthed response to this crisis speaks volumes. Past policies have emboldened Iran at every turn. They’ve eased sanctions and pursued nuclear deals that would ultimately pave the way for an Iranian bomb. As detailed by Reuters, it’s no wonder Israel felt compelled to act when its supposed allies were playing diplomatic footsie with its existential enemy.
