🧠 Just a month or two before the October 7 attack, Nagel had advised Netanyahu in an article to move from a policy of defense and containment to a preemptive strike — a policy that was later implemented against Hezbollah and Iran.

🎙 Regarding the recent 12-day war between Iran and Israel, he said:

“If Israel had wanted to, it could have killed Ayatollah Khamenei; but that was not its intention.”

⚖️ Nagel went on to add that Israel’s goal is not to overthrow the Iranian government,

but in his view, the only way to ensure that Iran does not seek to build a nuclear bomb is to change a government that does not pursue such a goal.
