Washington ( CNN ) -- Some say that the WikiLeaks document dump has embarrassed the United States government . Agreed -- it is probably no fun to be the U.S. official in charge of calling Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi to admit that our government noticed his Russian business dealings . But here 's who really should be embarrassed : . • Those who pooh-poohed George W. Bush 's `` axis of evil . '' WikiLeaks confirms that Iran and North Korea have for years been sharing weapons technology . • Those who suggest that it 's some `` Israel lobby '' or Jewish cabal that is driving the confrontation with Iran . WikiLeaks confirms that the region 's Arab governments express even more anxiety than Israel about the Iranian nuclear weapons program . • Those who have condemned Israel for inspecting or impeding Red Crescent ambulances . WikiLeaks confirms that during the 2006 Lebanon war , Iran smuggled weapons to Hezbollah in Red Crescent vehicles , including ambulances . • Those who have appeased Red Crescent demands that Israel 's Red Magen David be excluded from international Red Cross organizations . The Red Crescent has been thoroughly penetrated by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and is regularly used as a tool of Iranian foreign policy . • Those who lamented that Israel 's interception of the Turkish blockade-runner Mevi Marmara would alienate Turkey as a key U.S. ally : The U.S. government itself has for years regarded the Turkish government as trending on its own impetus toward anti-Western Islamist radicalism . • Those who look blank-faced at the origin of cyber-attacks on Google and other crucial U.S. networks . WikiLeaks documents U.S. awareness that at least one cyber-attack on Google was ordered at the highest levels of the Chinese government . This is not to deny that WikiLeaks has done enormous harm . The leakers or hackers or whoever it was who obtained and published this information have put individual lives at risk . Toby Harnden of the Telegraph notes that one of the released documents names a U.S. informant in the region . The document identifies him as a U.K.-educated engineer from a prominent pre-revolution Isfahan family who once owned a large factory in Iran and is a former national fencing champion of Iran , a former president of the Iran Fencing Association and a former vice president of an Azerbaijan sports association . Harnden aptly asks : How many such persons do you think are out there ? But here 's the ghastliest irony of the leak . If it was Julian Assange 's intention to use information hacked from U.S. computer systems to protect Iran from U.S. military action , he has very likely massively failed at his own purpose . The leak makes military conflict between Iran and the United States more likely , not less . The leak has changed the political equation in ways that reduce the restraint on U.S. policy . Public opinion in all U.S.-allied countries can now see that the dread of the Iranian nuclear program is not some artificial emotion whipped up by Israel , but a widespread fear among Arab and European governments . It 's Iran 's Gulf neighbors who have begged most urgently that the United States hit Iran 's nuclear sites . Iranian recklessness and duplicity has been widely publicized -- as has Iran 's contemptuous rejection of all diplomatic approaches . President Obama 's hand has been strengthened inside the United States . Members of Congress can see the intimate details of the administration 's determined effort to restrain Iran by peaceful means . And they can see in equally intimate detail that the effort has failed , and failed entirely because of Iran 's obduracy . If any doubt remains that a nuclear Iran would massively destabilize the region , WikiLeaks alleviates it : It 's there in black and white , according to Israeli sources , that Saudi Arabia would seek a nuclear weapon . And it 's a good question whether an increasingly anti-Western Turkey would likely soon pursue a nuclear weapon too . I am not saying that a U.S. attack on Iran has suddenly become likely . Just that it has become more politically feasible than it was 72 hours ago . The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of David Frum .
