There is no way, unless Iran attacks Israel, that our current or any future U.S. President will go nuclear against Iran.

“There is no way, unless Iran attacks Israel, that our current or any future U.S. President will go nuclear against Iran.”

So many things at play here...a) with Iran, most people (including HRC) don’t understand that “retaliation” to any attack by Iran is useless and too late - they MUST be stopped before getting to this point; b) attacking (and stopping Iran) does NOT have to be nuclear (i.e., Israeli AF’s brilliant attack in ‘88 on Iraq’s nuke facilities (NO casualties on either side) which put a 20+ year stop to that threat) - OR, serious financial sanctions-banking and credit privileges- would cripple Iran (but would require collective cooperation of the appropriate economic-power countries, and c) Benjamin Netanyahu, former (and youngest ever at the time) prime minister of Israel, will be once again elected and in charge within the next 6 months - a brilliant, wise and very serious leader (with cajones of steel) when it comes to the Iranian threat if imminent. He has said many times that they must, and will, do whatever is necessary to protect themselves from obliteration, if no one else (including the U.S.) takes action. And who can blame him??? BTW, Israeli intelligence (and security) is arguably the best in the world.
