While all of those points could be argued either way (see both sides of) on the nuclear capability issue, they are still good points.

As to the rest of what you wrote, (not counting Iranian oil refinery-petrochemical capability's) it touches on the vast complexities=unknowns to the dynamics/parameters of the situation.

BTW Thx for the post & your Service.

I agree there are many complex issues involved. And no one action comes close to addressing how best to deal with Iran or for that matter Syria in the whole. Gotta get ready for work so I can not provide a more quality response at this time. Do have a great day.
