Analysis: How Netanyahu failed to save Israel from Iran’s nuclear threat

In an analysis for Ynet, Rafi Miron writes that since 2009, Israel has attempted to halt Iran's nuclear program through covert operations, cyberattacks, and diplomatic pressure. However, despite damage to infrastructure and the killing of senior figures, the core threat—Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium—remains. Miron identifies four strategic mistakes: first, the failure to strike in 2009 when the program was more vulnerable; second, undermining the JCPOA without preparing for the consequences of its collapse; third, relying on limited covert operations; and fourth, focusing on targeting political and military leaders in 2025 rather than prioritizing the destruction of the enriched uranium stockpile. Miron concludes that Israel requires a fundamentally different strategic approach to confront Iran's nuclear ambitions.
