To: myknowledge

I’d wager that those alleged limited airstrikes on Iranian nuke facilities” are not in the cards. I would further wager that if they are, 1) they will prove limited or totally ineffective in halting Iran from pursuing nuclear weapons; 2) will only solidify Iran’s decision and desire to pursue nuclear weapons; 3) Iran will resort to either threatening or shutting down the Hormuz Straits, and ratcheting up its use of proxy Shi’ite factions spread out across the Middle East region, such as the Shi’ite rebels in Yemen, Shi’ite militant groups in Iraq (Sadr’s Madhi Army, etc.), and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

If these airstrikes are not decisive in totally inhibiting Iran’s nuclear program, they will do NOTHING but stir up a hornets nets, and one that this Jack Squat administration will be ill-prepared for and to engage.

Ever wondered why the Israeli’s have not hit Iran yet? Be assured, it is not because this Jack Squat administration is restraining or holding Israel back. Israel has realized that their airstrikes would either be 1) ineffectual; 2) have silently determined that Iran’s nuclear program is too far along to be stopped with limited airstrikes; 3)that Iran can foment ridiculous amounts of conflict on Israel via its border with Syria (a strategic ally of Iran) and Lebanon (Hezbollah).

You're more on the correct line there.

Sanctions and airstrikes are no longer viable at this point when they should have been executed at least 6 months ago.

“I’d wager that those alleged limited airstrikes on Iranian nuke facilities” are not in the cards.”

That would be a shrewd bet [but not for the entire farm].

I would imagine that a strike would have occurred prior to midnight Iranian time.
