Recent U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities have stirred up a debate on international security frameworks. Nuclear weapons policy analyst Sahil Shah points out a glaring double standard in the West's response when comparing these strikes to those affecting nuclear sites in Ukraine.
Shah notes that while the U.S. actions on Iran's nuclear centers received only a weak global reaction, similar incidents involving attacks on Ukraine's nuclear facilities have faced much harsher criticism. According to him, this imbalance not only raises questions about fairness, but it also erodes the credibility of important institutions like the United Nations Security Council and the International Atomic Energy Agency, which failed to provide robust protection or strong condemnation when nuclear facilities were targeted.
The unfolding scenario is a reminder that inconsistent responses to nuclear incidents could seriously undermine global security. As the world watches closely, experts warn that a fair and decisive international approach is becoming more essential than ever. 🔥🤔
