If we don’t achieve regime change then was any of this worth it? Maybe setting back the nuclear weapon program, but for how long? Iran could just buy a nuke from North Korea if they haven’t already done that.

“Iran could just buy a nuke from North Korea if they haven’t already done that.”

The problem with buying a weapon is that we will know who gave iran a weapon before it makes to Iran soil to be placed on a missle. The Pu or U is trackable to reactor, where in the reactor the materials came from along with the month and year it was pulled from the ez bake oven. There are people within Russia, north Korea, Iran and China who have been in the CIAs back pocket for decades. There are also groups tied to each of those nation willing to sell IRAN a non functional weapon for the same amount of up front cash and no real consequences.

The important thing is that Netanyahu gets to cling to power and remain out of prison.

Wouldn’t a nuke be detectable if it was transported from North Korea to Iran? Unless China and Pakistan were also cooperating in transporting it, I don’t see how they could get one there.

If Iran has only one nuke, thats not enough. They would need several to hide. And sufficient launching platforms are also detectable.

Regime Change has to be the outcome of this Conflict. I will be disappointed in Trump if he settles this with some kind of Deal that doesn’t involve regime Change. If he does, I wonder if he can turn that task over to Israel and provide them support?

You should be more concerned about the killed and wounded in Chicago during the month of March. It far exceeds what's happened in Iran.........

But then again, it doesn't fit your anti-Iran war narrative, does it?

They will never run out of terrorists to run their country. If you have a child that is hitting people with a stick, don’t you just take the stick away? If you have a country that is threatening the world with nuclear attacks using ballistic missiles then take their ability to use them away. The next step is find a way to make them not want to use them. We haven’t figured that out yet.

Thanks to people like Obama and Biden giving them the funds to accomplish it, they have put back a possible leash going on them for generations. But the trip starts with the first step. We can only hope our future politicians don’t fall down again.
