Not Another 'He Who Must Not Be Named'! Israeli President Says Iran's Nuke Program Is the Real Problem!

The Boy Who Lived...Through Another International Crisis

Blimey another day another potential Voldemort esque situation brewing! This time it's not about You Know Who trying to snatch my lightning bolt scar but about Iran's nuclear program. Apparently Israeli President Isaac Herzog told some Muggle news outlet CNBC that they're not trying to oust the Iranian government but rather *ahem* 'remove the Iranian nuclear program.' Sounds like a delicate charm to me more complicated than brewing a Polyjuice Potion that's for sure.

Accusations and Atomic Energy Agencies – Sounds Like Divination Class!

Herzog's throwing accusations around faster than Quaffles at a Quidditch match claiming Iran is 'cheating' and 'rushing to the bomb.' Sounds a bit like Malfoy trying to sabotage my broom during a game. Meanwhile the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is giving Iran the stink eye demanding they 'fully cooperate,' or else they can't guarantee everything is peaceful. Honestly it's like trying to get Peeves to behave during a Headmaster's speech – utterly impossible unless you're wielding some serious magic... or sanctions in this case.

Airstrikes and Aftermath: 'Tough Sometimes,' Says Who?

So Israel decided to launch some 'series of airstrikes' against Iran targeting locations related to the nuclear program. Apparently things escalated faster than a Firebolt on Turbo Boost! Herzog's trying to sound like Dumbledore saying 'One has to be tough sometimes in order to remove imminent threats.' Right because blowing things up always solves everything... ask Peter Pettigrew.

Trump's Take: Closer to a Nuke Than a Chocolate Frog?

Speaking of blustering buffoons Trump chimed in claiming Iran is 'very close' to having a nuclear bomb. Honestly it's like hearing Fudge deny Voldemort's return all over again! But then Tulsi Gabbard the National Intelligence Director stepped in to say that Iran isn't building a nuclear weapon and that the 'Supreme Leader Khamanei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program.' It's like a real life version of Veritaserum versus blatant lying. Who do you believe?

G7 Says 'No Nukes!' While China Waves a Warning Flag

The Group of Seven countries are backing Israel condemning Iran as the 'principal source of regional instability and terror,' and roaring that 'Iran can never have a nuclear weapon.' Sounds like a rallying cry worthy of Gryffindor! But China's doing its best Snape impression 'explicitly condemning Israel's violation of Iran's sovereignty' and supporting Iran's right to defend itself. Talk about a complicated potion with too many ingredients!

Back Channels and Diplomatic Dementors

Apparently there's 'a lot of back channel' diplomatic activity happening behind the scenes. Herzog says 'National talks and dialogue with world leaders is actually quite intensive.' Honestly it sounds about as pleasant as a meeting with the Dementors but hey if it stops a nuclear war maybe I'll even offer them a chocolate frog. Though knowing my luck they'd probably just suck the joy out of it.
