John Mearsheimer Warns Israel Could Use Nuclear Weapons Against Iran

Mearsheimer: U.S.–Israel War on Iran a “Strategic Blunder”
John Mearsheimer, an American political scientist, has strongly criticized the February 28 U.S.–Israel strikes on Iran, warning the war could backfire with serious global consequences.
Mearsheimer has repeatedly described the war as a major miscalculation—arguing it lacks a clear path to victory and risks long-term instability.
He warned that:
•The conflict shows no signs of ending quickly
•It could strengthen Iran rather than weaken it
•It raises the risk of wider regional escalation, including extreme outcomes
Mearsheimer has also argued that U.S. and Israeli actions may actually increase instability in the Middle East, calling the idea that the war improves security “ludicrous.”
