Let us prepare for a nuclear Iran…

Those of you who have been following the flurry of recent reports, offers  and comments about the possibility of a “nuclear Iran” will not find much to cheer in Prof. Drezner’s conclusion in a recent article on Foreign Policy (emphasis mine):

…the most pragmatic thing for the United States to do is to expect nothing fruitful to come from negotiations with Iran — and to (nonviolently) prepare for the contingency of a nuclear Iran.

I think he is right.

Meanwhile the Israel Defense Forces chief is reported as saying: Israel would not tolerate a nuclear Iran.
