I’m not convinced of the right answer yet. I am convinced that:

(1) Obama will choose the worst possible option, far worse than whatever shockingly stupid and destructive thing we imagine he might do (such as sending them money and technical assistance to fund their nuclear weapons program).

(2) Obama will do everything in his power to stop Israel if Israel tries to actively stop Iran from nuking the West.

As for whether we should attack Iran and then quickly withdraw, I am undecided. I’d rather see someone else do it, but I don’t expect Obama to permit either outcome. What I think doesn’t really matter. I’m commenting more on how we should think than on what we should decide.

If there really is a shake-up going on in the Kremlin, then Iran’s on hold re: its Russian air defense, they may have to operate it themselves. This would be the ideal time for IDF to strike, while international alliances are being shuffled.
