Why it matters:
Netanyahu’s admission matters because it confirms Israel's long covert operation targeting the Iranian civilian nuclear program, and this issue escalates regional tensions, raising serious legal and ethical concerns.
These assassinations undermine diplomatic efforts and show Israeli state-sponsored terror, fueling further instability in West Asia.
