This is correct. The problem is, this cant be done by air alone. its going to require a real war on the ground. Thats where we part ways . I find it morally, ethically, financially wrong on every level , right now it looks like preparations are being made just for thatMidnight hammer was about as successful as it could be. It destroyed their enrichment facilities and probably set them back a couple years.
But, that's not "the program".
Nothing short of regime change can really "destroy the program" fully, because as long as they are working on a bomb, there is a program. Even if you killed every scientist and destroyed every piece of equipment, if they still have the will they will start again from scratch
We could hold them off indefinitely, but it would take a fresh midnight hammer every 6 months to a year.This is correct.

Honestly, I think Iran will acquire nuclear weapons by some means before any invasion can take place (roughly 1-2 years) I see it as a race to get an invasion force up and ready vs Iran obtaining a nuke and demonstrating it
Russia and China have a decision to make , allow the US take over Iran and the straights controlling the flow of oil , and the mid east fore the next 50 years plus , or supply Iran with the percusors to make nuclear weapons or the weapons themselves .
Pakistan has already offered Iran nuclear weapons . Personally I think its way to late , at this point its a fools errand . The only way Iran comes out of this , is by obtaining nuke s or die . They are backed into a corner , only one way out for them .
That would be the end of whoever did it, and everyone knows that.Me thinks they will obtain ready to use weapons, If it looks like the west is amassing an army , somebody will most likely sell give them a few dozen
That would be the end of whoever did it, and everyone knows that.
Nobody is going to give a nuclear weapon to anyone they even suspect might use it.
Knowledge, sure. Equipment to refine your own, sure. But never any actual nuclear material let alone a bomb.
Imagine what happens if Iran or one of their proxies detonated a Chinese or Pakistani nuke in one of their neighbors cities. That would be the end of the nuclear program for the source country, and possibly the whole country.
What would Russia do if we gave Ukraine a couple nukes and they used them ?
That makes sense. They don’t want it to go on forever, but they want Iran gone. I don’t blame them and I honestly wouldn’t be sad if that happened either with their history. However, I did not get that from your post so thanks for clearing that up.They need Iran neutralized. Not a ceasefire. They want them out of the picture . Since the US will aid and help fund it It makes sense to continue .
