Bharat Ki Baat: Trump-Netanyahu accused of nuclear bullying as Israel pushes for Iran regime collapse

The ongoing Israel-Iran war is increasingly being perceived not just as a bilateral conflict, but as a joint power play by former U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Critics argue that while Trump failed to play any real role in past peace efforts—such as during India-Pakistan tensions—he now appears to be encouraging a reckless military strategy against Iran.Trump has long opposed Iran’s nuclear ambitions, repeatedly stating Iran should not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons. However, many are questioning the hypocrisy, as the U.S. itself holds over 5,000 nuclear warheads according to SIPRI, and Israel is believed to possess nuclear weapons as well—despite never officially acknowledging them.Observers suggest this conflict is less about regional security and more about Trump and Netanyahu exerting dominance in the Middle East. Trump is accused of using Netanyahu's aggressive posture as cover to press for regime change in Iran. Reports even claim Ayatollah Khamenei has fled Tehran—though unconfirmed.With over 200 Western aircraft reportedly preparing for coordinated strikes, the world watches anxiously. Critics say this mirrors the Iraq invasion narrative—claims of weapons of mass destruction followed by a devastating war. The nuclear double standard, they say, is now driving dangerous global instability.
