The threat of a limited surgical naval or air force bombing of critical nuclear installations—with no ground troops - would not amount to a war, would deter the Ayatollahs, possibly moderating their nature, and—if activated - would permanently cripple their pursuit of nuclear capabilities, and could be repeated if necessary from US military bases in Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Oman and the Indian Ocean or from US aircraft carriers.

That is the most idiotic thing I've heard in a long time. Did the bombing of Pearl Harbor not amount to a war?

True. They wouldn’t be able to get out of the bombed facilities. They’d be plugged and compacted. Help arrives from other Iranians, bomb it, too.
