the gulf dragged in. the unilateral strike against a muslim country would destabilize the region already caught up in the turmoil of the arab spring. third, a strike will only delay not resolve iran's nuclear challenge. short of invasion, occupation and regime change, there's no way use military action to ensure iran abandons its nuclear program. as american defense officials noted, a near-term attack on iran's nuclear infrastructure would not the program back at most a few years. it should be noted a possible israeli strike would produce similar instability but with more limited effects on the program. meanwhile, in the aftermath of a strike, iran would likely attempt to rebuild its program in way harder to detect and more costly to stop. certainly an attack would motivate kicking out iea inspectors and rapidly rebuild the clandestine infrastructure. four, still time for diplomacy. unprecedented sanctions and iranian leaders signaled willingness to return to the negotiating table. it won't be easy but an opportunity exists for all sides to chart a new course and step back from confrontation. the immediate goal should be to reach
