Bart, you make good points that don’t necessarily conflict with mine. Iran has said it wants to eliminate the “zionist regime” not the physical state of Israel. We disagree there, but a covert attack as you describe would without a doubt be pinned on Tehran whether it came from them or not. So Iran having a deterent is still the logical response for them. Outside pressure is not a bad thing, if it is responsible, as a deterent to bad behavior. Irresponsible military action from chickenhawk politicos with an agenda does no-one any good. Not Israel, the Middle East, the US, or, god-forbid I should say it, Iran’s young west-leaning population.
