Israel started this conflict and Nuclear Iran Could Make the World Safer, this statement were made by American political scientist John Mearsheimer on his latest interview on the latest program of Piers Morgan Uncensored.
Mearsheimer emphasized that while he does not advocate for Iran to possess nuclear weapons, he acknowledges the strategic perspective behind it. He noted that while the acquisition of nuclear weapons by Iran may be unfavorable from the standpoint of the United States and Israel, it could be viewed as a beneficial deterrent from Iran's perspective.
The political scientist highlighted the nature of nuclear weapons as ultimate deterrents, suggesting that if Iran, Israel, and the United States were all nuclear powers, it could lead to a more cautious approach in military actions, thereby reducing the likelihood of conflict.
Drawing parallels to the Cold War era, Mearsheimer underscored how the possession of nuclear weapons by both the United States and the Soviet Union acted as a deterrent against direct conflict. He argued that while the prospect of a nuclear war cannot be completely ruled out, the presence of nuclear weapons among these nations would significantly diminish the probability of a war between Iran and either Israel or the United States.
Mearsheimer's remarks shed light on the complex dynamics surrounding nuclear proliferation and its potential implications for global peace and security.
