United States President Barack Obama’s policies have left an Israeli attack on Iran the only option in preventing the Islamic Republic from obtaining a nuclear weapon, according to an article written by former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton in the Washington Post Thursday. In the article, Bolton said, "Israel's decision of whether to use military force against Tehran's nuclear weapons program is more urgent than ever… Those who oppose Iran acquiring nuclear weapons are left in the near term with only the option of targeted military force against its weapons facilities.”
Bolton claimed that the Iranian nuclear threat is even more certain following the apparent failure of the resistance movement in Iran. “Anyone who believes the Revolutionary Guard Corps will abandon its weaponization and ballistic missile programs probably believes that there was no fraud in Iran's June 12 election.”
Not expecting the Tehran government to bargain in good faith, Bolton wrote that negotiations with Iran would place Israel in “an even more dangerous trap." Failure to stage a pre-emptive attack on Iran means that the world must “be prepared for an Iran with nuclear weapons...."
