Study group questions military action against Iran

“A military strike is a feasible option and must remain a last resort to retard Iran’s nuclear development,” the report said.

…The U.S. military is capable of launching a devastating strike on Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure, probably a more decisive one than the Iranian leadership realizes, the study group said.

“However, unless sustained by repeated strikes against rebuilt or newly discovered sites over a period of years, military action alone is likely only to delay Iranian nuclear development while entailing risks of retaliation … which could quickly escalate to full-scale war.”
