The recent launching by the P5+1 of negotiations of a comprehensive deal with Iran regarding its nuclear program poses serious dilemmas for both the U.S. and Israel given the enormous stakes involved. For the U.S., the formal goal is to be verifiably assured that Iran’s nuclear program is peaceful. In reality, America’s goal is to prevent Iran’s nuclear program from reaching a point where the U.S. would have no choice but to decide between “bombing and the bomb”—that is, between attacking Iran’s nuclear installations or “living with an Iranian bomb.” In turn, this decision point can only be avoided by restoring a significant “breakout time” for Iran’s nuclear effort.[1] Yet, restoring such “breakout time” does not exclude the possibility that Iran would be permitted to have a ‘small, discrete, limited‘ uranium-enrichment program.
