[Socal31]

25. Russia and the US have played games over Iran for years.

Russia delays the full roll-out of the S-300.

Obama delayed the newer "bunker-buster" weapons to Israel in 2010, although it is widely reported that we made a secret transfer in 2011 in return for a delay in the strike.

Nobody is going to launch nukes over Iran, with the exception possibly being Israel depending on how bad it would get. Which goes back to the point to the law of unintended consequences: we just don't know what will/could happen when/if the shooting starts.

The only obvious solution to all of this is for Iran to fully comply with the IAEA, and Israel to declare and dismantle its nuclear weapons under international scrutiny.

They are already under our nuclear umbrella, they don't need them. I don't see Iran giving up the pursuit for anything less than a nuclear free ME.
