Bushehr can be bombed by Israel in 3 days says John Bolton

Agence France-Presse reports that John Bolton, former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., says that there is only a 3 day window before the Bushehr nuclear plant becomes functional where Israel can bomb. Once nuclear fuel is loaded into the plant’s core, any attacks would spread radiation and harm Iranian civilians. Bushehr is likely to be safe from any attack coming from Israel, although numerous like Bolton are trying to start a war with Israel and Iran. Sanctions from the United States and also the European Union have not at all slowed Iran’s thirst for more nuclear power.

Bushehr could be the best place to get nuclear weapons says John Bolton

Bushehr doesn’t get nice words from John Bolton, which is to be expected. He sees it as a potential weapons factory the likes of which men like Saddam Hussein only dreamed of, as outlined by AFP. The argument between Iran and the United Nations is as such: Everybody wants to know is the Middle Eastern nation hoping to get just a little more power and respect because of the fact that they have nuclear power, or do they really just want a new nuclear weapons program brought forth? Bolton, now a senior fellow at the conservative think-tank American Enterprise Institute, has been fixated for years on potential nuclear weapons programs in nations like North Korea and Iran. Numerous media sources like CBS News have accused him of having a “one-track mind” on the matter, and Bolton has been accused in the past by the liberal media of spinning intelligence to confirm his pronouncements, even when enough evidence was not present.

Bolton bombs anything

The way Obama is looking at Iran really bothers Bolton, as outlined by the New York Times:

“There is no possibility the Obama administration will use force, despite its confused and ever-changing formulation about the military option always being ‘on the table.’… It is hard to conclude anything except that the Obama administration is resigned to Iran possessing nuclear weapons. While U.S. policymakers will not welcome that outcome, they certainly hope as a corollary that Iran can be contained and deterred. Since they have ruled out the only immediate alternative, military force, they are doubtless now busy preparing to make lemonade out of this pile of lemons.”

According to Foreign Policy magazine, war would begin with a Bushehr bombing

Israel and the U.S. have had a fairly shaky and odd relationship. World War II was a major turning point, and also the U.S. warmed even more to the reason for Israel in the days following Israel’s victory in 1967’s Six Day War. Thus, it is reasonable to say that while the nations don’t have specific treaties in place, the United States and Israel are de-facto allies. Thus, a war between Iran and Israel would conceivably involve the U.S., although the U.S. itself would not have a “just or strategically sound cause for initiating war,” writes Foreign Policy magazine. Numerous that’s why Bolton wants Israel to bomb the factory and have it be over with. Since the U.S. military is already stretched fairly thin, even Bolton recognizes it is time to stay out of all the war. If Israel does choose to do a quick bombing, does the United States think it can keep away from the war really?
