Preemptive self-defence, which a lot of people like to cite, requires an imminent threat, which cannot be dealt with otherwise. Israel has articulated the imminent nature of the threat posed by Iran's nuclear program and yet, you can't speak of an imminent threat when Iran is actually in the process of active negotiations to resolve this issue” - Scott Ritter.
