The ongoing debate on Israel's attack on Iran raises complex issues of international law. While some Israeli officials claim the action was a necessary preemptive self-defense against an imminent nuclear threat from Iran, legal analysts argue otherwise. They emphasize that international law sets high thresholds for self-defense, suggesting that an imminent threat was unproven. Experts like Matthias Goldmann note that the attackers failed to provide evidence, rendering their justification legally questionable. Overall, the discussion illustrates the tension between security measures and adherence to international legal standards.
"Experts argue that despite long-standing threats from Iran, legal analysts largely view Israel's claims as prohibited self-defense, lacking proof of an imminent threat from Iran."
"Legal analysts highlight that Israel's June 13 attack might be categorized as a preventive attack, rather than a justifiable act of self-defense under international law."
