Seems unlikely to WWR that sanctions will have much, if any impact on Iran. Many foreign policy ; natl. security analysts are looking ahead
Nuclear Iran would likely force the U.S. to make security guarantees to the Mideast; i.e. Sunni states like Saudi Arabia that fear Iran
As “forcibly interrupting” Iran’s program – even Sec. Def. Gates says it would only slow Tehran down for a short period.
The Pentagon has war-gamed various conflict scenarios with Iran; the results are said to be disturbing.
Meantime, DOD is quietly & quickly rushing production of its biggest bunker buster bomb – the 15-ton massive ordnance penetrator (MOP)
MOP is 6x bigger than the largest bunker buster in the U.S. arsenal now; designed to hit targets deep underground in Iran or N.Korea
MOP – delivered by a B-2 or B-52 - will be deployable in December. A weapon available to Obama that no other President has had.
Gibbs told WWR the concession to Russia allowing it to sell missiles to #Iran doesn't mean Moscow will. Says they're acting w/restraint.
WWR asked Gibbs why the U.S. made a concession to Russia allowing it to sell missiles to #Iran. Gibbs: Kremlin acting w/restraint.
WWR pointed out the concession to Russia could potentially jeopardize American lives; Gibbs downplayed this possibility
