Tel Aviv, Israel – E be like say wahala don dey brew again for the Middle East as Israel don carry out major attacks on Iran. This gbedu start on June 12, 2025, when Israeli jets, plenty like fly, launch serious airstrikes on Iranian military and nuclear sites.
Israel claim say dem dey protect their country from wahala wey Iran fit bring. Dem talk say Iran dey close to have nuclear weapon wey fit cause gbege for Israel. But the big question be, wetin make dis kind preemptive attack justifiable? (Na wah, all this law talk sef!)
According to international law, especially as e concern United Nations, dem no dey allow aggressive war. Military strikes only permitted if na self-defense. So, Israel claim say na anticipation of attack dem strike first. But whether this claim dey valid? Experts dey scratch their heads over am.
Marko Milanovic, wey sabi international law finish, gree say the whole action fit no dey legal. He reason am say e no show evidence say Iran don commit to attack Israel immediately. “To justify any military action, Israel need to prove say na the only option left,” he yarn.
Meanwhile, the United Kingdom’s Chief Legal Counsel, Richard Hermer, don advise Prime Minister Keir Starmer no make any move towards Iran unless e confirm say dem target UK personnel. Dis one dey true as international law no gree allow action based on mere suspicion.
For June 9, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) drop report wey say Iran no dey cooperate. But e still no clear say dem dey build bomb. Plus, anytime wey Iran respond to Israel’s attacks, dem claim say na self-defense too. This don dey turn to who go fit do wetin pass who kind matter.
For the military ground, Iran don start to retaliate since the Israeli attack. They don fire missiles wey don hit some parts of Israel. The whole thing dey resemble tit-for-tat game wey no wan end well. Iran don say any attack from US go lead to major wahala for the entire region. Na serious matter!
On top this whole ggis, dem dey toss around past actions when Israel don attack other countries on “preemptive self-defense” basis. Remember when dey attack Iraq’s Osirak reactor in 1981? Dem vex say na dem right to protect their future. But the UN no gree gree dat one too.
Ginger dey where the tension dey rise. As more and more countries dey talk say dis kind military action fit cause big problems for global peace, the world dey watch as the situation dey unfold. Whether Israel fit justify their attack under self-defense or dem just dey do wetin dem like still dey remain question wey dey bubble.
But, one matter wey clear be say, no matter wetin happen next, plenty innocent civilians go dey caught in the crossfire. And that na the part wey dey pain my heart pass. E go better make dem remember say lives dey matter, no be only land or power.
As of now, the whole issue dey filled with contradictions, and no clear resolution dey in sight. E remain for the world leaders and the law to figure am out before e turn to wahala wey go scatter everywhere!
