Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is on the mission of his lifetime. For years, the veteran leader has made the destruction of Iran’s nuclear program his top priority.

Benjamin Netanyahu has said for three decades that the central threat to Israel’s existence is Iran’s nuclear program. At least twice over that period, he came within inches of carrying out an attack on it.

Israel has launched dozens of air strikes against Iran targeting its nuclear programme, military facilities and killing its top two commanders in a devastating large-scale attack that pushed the Middle East into a new war.
