The Point of No Return
For the Obama administration, the prospect of a nuclearized Iran is dismal to contemplate it would create major new national-security challenges and crush the presidents dream of ending nuclear proliferation. But the view from Jerusalem is still more dire: a nuclearized Iran represents, among other things, a threat to Israels very existence. In the gap between Washingtons and Jerusalems views of Iran lies the question: who, if anyone, will stop Iran before it goes nuclear, and how? As Washington and Jerusalem study each other intensely, heres an inside look at the strategic calculations on both sidesand at how, if things remain on the current course, an Israeli air strike will unfold.By Jeffrey Goldberg Posted by: Mercutio 2010-08-13 |
