(Mowing the lawn) Urgent message to journalists, opinion makers and
officials being briefed by US on Iran
Dr. Aaron Lerner - IMRA 11 April 2015

"We have the capability to shut down, set back and destroy the Iranian
nuclear program....military action is reversible overtime."
Defense Secretary Ashton Carter In an interview with CNN's Erin Burnett 10
April 2015

Yes, "military action is reversible overtime", if an American operation -
of at most a few days - to "shut down, set back and destroy the Iranian
nuclear program" was followed by benign neglect on America's part.

But that's a profoundly absurd assumption.

So the next time you are being briefed by an American ask them the following
questions:

After the United States exercises its capability to shut down, set back and
destroy the Iranian nuclear program - as well as Iran's mid-range and
long-range missile program:

#1. Would it be possible for the U.S. to detect indications of Iranian
efforts to restore these programs?

#2. Would the United States have "the capability to shut down, set back
and destroy" these efforts to restore the destroyed programs?

#3. Is it reasonable to assume that the cost of this follow up "lawn
mowing" would be magnitudes less than that cost of the initial American
operation to destroy these programs?
