re: #347 Alyosha

You’re opposed to the framework which would effectively kill the Iranian bomb dead, because Iran wants sanctions removed ASAP…

Did I hear that correctly?

Assume the Iranians can be talked around by June. What happens to your objection then?

You specify an aversion to a naval war but pointedly leave an opening for an aerial assault which could never prevail and which would quickly become, whether you like it or not, a naval conflict too.

Actually, I thought I’d made clear I didn’t favor a bombing campaign:

There’s a difference between thinking we can clear the Straits of Hormuz and thinking we can destroy nuclear facilities buried under a mountain.
