Israel launched a preemptive attack on Iran, targeting nuclear sites, military bases, and residences, resulting in substantial casualties. Israel justified the attack as self-defence against an imminent nuclear threat. However, intelligence reports contradicted this, indicating that Iran was not pursuing a nuclear weapon. Diplomatic talks were ongoing for a potential nuclear agreement. The attack poses ethical questions regarding military action based on potential rather than actual threats. The distinction between preemptive and preventive warfare is critical, as only preemptive actions against imminent dangers meet moral guidelines established by influential thinkers.
Israel's preemptive strike on Iran resulted in significant casualties, with 974 people killed in Iran and 28 in Israel, raising ethical and legal questions about justified military action.
Ethicists and international lawyers argue that preemptive strikes must meet strict moral criteria, defining the difference between a legitimate immediate threat and a speculative future risk.
