Strikes Against Iran and Selective Sensitivities

The author condemns Iran's attacks on countries in the Arabian Peninsula and Cyprus, characterizing the Iranian regime as irrational and reckless. They argue that the preemptive strikes by the US and Israel were justified, given Iran's threats of nuclear annihilation. The author states that negotiations with Iran failed because Tehran sought to buy time to create secure infrastructure for its nuclear program. They criticize the selective sensitivity of AKEL, which condemned the strikes, arguing that a country threatened with nuclear annihilation has the right to defend itself preemptively. The author emphasizes that Cyprus, as a member of the EU, has a duty to protect its citizens from such threats.
