¿Qué hacemos con la amenaza nuclear iraní?


Se preguntan varios analistas americanos y llegan a la conclusión que un ataque israelí solo podría retrasar un par de años el programa nuclear de Irán.

Los USA podrían hacer más y retrasarlo unos 10 años, pero haría falta poner en movimiento cientos de aviones, bombarderos y caza-bombarderos, drones, varios Navy Carrier Strike Groups, "tankers" y soporte logístico, grupos de vigilancia y varias unidades de "commandos".

Este es el resumen que hacen:

* “Israel does not have the capability to carry out preventive strikes that could do more than delay Iran’s efforts for a year or two.” Despite the increasingly sharp rhetoric coming out of Jerusalem, the idea of Israel launching a unilateral attack is almost as bad as allowing Tehran to continue its nuclear work unchallenged.  It would invite wave after wave of Iranian counterattacks — by missile, terrorist, and a boat — jeopardizing countries throughout the region. It would wreak havoc with the world’s oil supply.
* The U.S. might be able to delay the nuclear program for up to 10 years. But to do so, it’ll be an enormous undertaking. The initial air strike alone will “require a large force allocation [including] the main bomber force, the suppression of enemy air defense system[s], escort aircraft for the protection of the bombers, electronic warfare for detection and jamming purposes, fighter sweep and combat air patrol to counter any air retaliation by Iran.”
