The war between Israel and Iran could escalate in the Middle East as there are fears of nuclear proliferation over Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
The statement made by the Israeli will now place even further pressure on global leaders to stop Tehran from building a nuclear weapon.
The US President has said on Wednesday he is “not too much in the mood to negotiate with Iran” and it has been reported Donald Trump is warming to the idea to use a 30,0000lb “bunker buster” bomb on Iran’s nuclear site, CNN reports citing officials.

Khamenei said on state TV, “Wise individuals who know Iran, its people, and its history never speak to this nation with the language of threats, because the Iranian nation is not one to surrender.

Denis Pushilin, head of the Donetsk People’s Republic, told TASS that Israels attack on Iran could spread to Europe.
He said, “You know, not long ago it seemed unthinkable that Israel would dare to launch such a blatant attack on Iran. <…> Now, many find it equally hard to imagine that this could spread to Europe.
“But the politicians currently in power are taking giant leaps toward self-destruction. <…> Yes, it may still seem unlikely that the war will engulf all of Europe, but I wouldn’t rule out that scenario.”
