I was just gonna’ say - if some AQ operative caused a significant nuclear accident in this country we would regard it as an act of nuclear terrorism - and rightly so.

And if we knew - or even strongly suspected - that a national government had aided the effort, we would regard their action - rightly - as an act of war.

No, now the ball is in Iran's court. If Iran chooses to throw the switch and bring those reactors online, it'll be that choice that results in their country becoming a contaminated ball of radiated glass.

You seriously think that Americans would decide that a serious mishap an AQ compromised reactor on American soil was "our own fault" because we suspected or knew that it had been sabotaged? That we would be giving whoever sabotaged it a pass?

My guess - the USA had a big role in this. ( I am a good guessed.)

They ought to thank us, because the alternative was a huge bombing raid.

We took risk to show constraint.

Anyone in a leadership position would recognize this fact. There lives may depend on that recognition.
