“US doesn’t think Iran is making a bomb?”
Every thinking person knows Iran wants nukes.
The problem is how do you drag them, while they are kicking, screaming, holding their breath, stomping their feet, out into the light?
The single best use for an Iranian nuke against the US would be an EMP burst. They need a ICBM for that. Right now they are testing/deploying IRBM’s that can reach parts of Europe. That cuts down on the coalition.
An EMP strike immediately levels the playing field between the Western and Muslim worlds. Perhaps Iran gets taken out in a nuclear counterstrike, but the crazies over there might just deem that ‘acceptable’.
Why even try to drag them into the light? Just send them some enlightenment. One missile at a time:
“If the radiance of a thousand suns
Were to burst at once into the sky,
That would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...
I am become Death,
The shatterer of Worlds”
