Diplomacy and Iran
Diplomacy to stop Iran from building a nuclear bomb has been tried for years, with little success. Each round ends with the same conclusion: Iran will not give up its nuclear ambition. It already has the hardware, enriched uranium, and assembly know-how. To delay the bomb’s completion, Israel targeted key scientists and military leaders in its opening strike.
Israel has made it clear to Washington: it will act with or without U.S. support.
The U.S. is hesitant to join the conflict, as no direct American interests have been hit—though it does want Iran’s nuclear capability eliminated. But that goal isn’t achievable without U.S. bunker-buster bombs.
Eventually, America will find a reason to step in and take out Iran’s facilities. Civilian loss and destruction are tragic—but no better solution has emerged.
