Anyone helping Iran develop its nuclear program is considered an enemy and a potential target of Israel, regardless of nationality, stated Zion Alon, leader of the Israeli political party A-Hazon, in a commentary to RBC-Ukraine's YouTube channel.
"Russia has always been in Iran. For decades, it's had a presence there. I'm not an adviser to the tyrant Putin, but I would openly ask: What is the president of the terrorist entity known as Russia doing? If he sees how things are unfolding, then evacuate your nuclear scientists. Save them. Because for us, any person who helps the development of Iran's nuclear program, whether Russian, Jewish, American - any person who helps, is our enemy and our potential target," Alon stated.
He emphasized that those who care about their nuclear experts should act accordingly.
"Get them out. Don't help Iran develop its nuclear program. I believe the regime of the Ayatollahs must fall. The root of the problem is not in the Iranian people, nor in the fact that Iran could potentially have nuclear weapons. There are many countries in the world with nuclear capacity, and we have no issues with them, because no one has openly threatened the existence of the state of Israel for 20 years, as Iran did. Only Iran has turned this into an existential issue," Alon concluded.
Israeli operation
On the night of June 13, Israel launched a large-scale military strike on Iran, targeting approximately 100 locations. The stated goal of the operation was to disable key components of Iran's nuclear infrastructure, ballistic missile production facilities, and other military targets.
By June 15, reports confirmed that at least 14 Iranian nuclear scientists had been killed as a result of the Israeli attacks.
According to the Israeli military, those scientists were actively working to advance Iran's efforts to acquire a nuclear weapon.
It has also been confirmed that Russian nuclear scientists are present in Iran. However, Russian leader Vladimir Putin claimed that the Kremlin has an agreement with the Israeli leadership that Russian specialists, specifically those involved in the construction of the Bushehr nuclear power plant, would not be targeted.
