The reporting and speculation that the U.S. will use nukes against Iran is Seymour Hersh hogwash…it just isn’t necessary to use nukes even if the U.S. were to strike Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. There are many weak points in the fuel production cycle that the U.S. could cripple in a conventional attack that would delay Iran’s program considerably (assuming Iran doesn’t have vast EU production facilities unknown to the US IC or obtains HEU by some other means).
There are no good options available to the US right now short of covert disruption operations.
Diplomacy is a loser from the start and thus only seeks to allow Iran to perfect their program over time…did it work with N. Korea and Pakistan? Of course it didn’t. These 2 countries were determined to join the nuclear club whatever the consequences, and so is Iran.
Mark my words ‘arms control’ wonk…36 -48 months from now, Iran will declare it possesses a nuclear weapon.
It may not be deliverable by BM and may be a crude design, but the capability of Iran to build atomic bombs WILL be a grave threat to U.S. and Israeli national security and these 2 nuclear powers aren’t going to sit on their hands waiting for the inevitable to happen.
