What if Iran gets nuclear weapons?
Radical religion with hate in its DNA/ rewards in the after life for killing in the name of, combined with nuclear weapons is the single greatest threat to the planet. Almost every political party in this USA would agree with this.
Iran is on record that it wants to obtain nuclear weapons, and use them against Israel. If such a nightmare happened, Israel would counter attack and 100+ million people would die. Maybe more if you consider the radiation fall out in adjacent nations. The land would be unusable for years. The world economy would greatly suffer. When economies and people suffer, war happens. Such an event could spark World War III.
Or what if Iran sells nukes on the black market? New York. London and Washington DC are primary targets.
These are the stakes. Do you really trust Iran? Do you think giving them more time is some sort of diplomatic achievement? If the answer is no then consider what the leader of Israel is going to say.
IMO, the best thing to do is to have closed door discussions with no media. Tell Iran we have inspectors 24 x 7 on all sites. In return many sanctions are lifted. DEAL?
If not, all suspected sites are going to be demolished and the people inside destroyed. You don't need a long ground campaign to destroy suspected nuclear uranium enrichment areas. You only need to clog up the drain of water ( needed to cool the reactors ) and hit them with bunker busting bombs. After that machinery to drill in to subterranean bunkers. Those inside will be captured. It would be a commando type of operation that would not take years on the ground. More like 3-6 months after Iran's air force is out of business.
This should be the USA’s offer to Iran.
