In 2012, Spain began working on a nuclear program, to arm itself with nuclear warheads, despite stern warnings from the E.U. It came into direct competition with Iran, who was also fighting for power over the nuclear resources needed to create warheads. In January, it was revealed that Iran was using Israel as a proxy to develop nuclear warheads, funding and controlling their research, and 5 days later, Spain put together a anti-Israeli coalition with two purposes: destroy the State of Israel, and seize the nuclear research labs.
