I doubt if Israel is interested in sites like Bushehr so much as sites like Natanz, Arak, Qom, etc. - i.e. all the unpublicised underground sites where the Iranians are enriching fuel or otherwise working on nuclear weaponry. I guess the Americans are trying to scare the Iranians into negotiating but I'm not sure that is a tactic that will work.

No one is going to attack Iran, not the US, and especially not Israel (no matter how much the likes of Bolton and other warmongers would like them to). War is costly and unpredictable as Israel have found out in Lebanon and Gaza, and the US have found out in Vietnam, Somalia, Iraq, and Afghanistan - to name but a few of thier 'lost' wars. Yes the US and Israel could theoretically 'win' a war with Iran, but at what cost - the state of Israel?, the US hegmony of the Middle East?, the Union of the US itself (think collapse of the oil economy, value of the US dollar, and social unrest - and that is only the beginning). If Iran were going to be attacked it would have happened when they were at thier weakest shortly after the Iran / Iraq war. The window has now passed - Iran knows this, the US knows this, and Israel knows this. The best that Israel and the US can do is try to isolate Iran 'North Korea style', but with big players such as China, Russia, Turkey, and Brazil not taking part in this we shall see only a war of words. My worry however is that we may see a US ship (or Israeli sub) sunk off the coast of Iran in a 'North Korea style' false flag attack. Things may then get out of hand quite quickly.

John Bolton is stupid Megalomaniac , war criminal , has so much of Iraqis blood on his hand, he should be prosecuted in the Courts of Human Rights, as well as few members of previous administration ,whom they are well known in the intellectual societies , they can run but can not hide , soon or late they will be brought to justice.
