The mullahs have successfully put down the rebellion, and the regime is secure for the time being. Obama still believes in engagement. Iran will not negotiate with him in good faith, and even if Obama then goes for sanctions, they'll be hopelessly inadequate to stopping Iran's nuke program. Beyond that, Obama has signaled that he's willing to live with Iranian nukes, rationally speaking an unacceptably dangerous gamble. Thus, the only option left is an Israeli attack on the nuke facilities--and the sooner the better, since the situation re. Iran's progress toward nukes is always getting worse. Thus John Bolton in Thursday's Washington Post.
