It’s risky with significant consequences, but the choice that we face is not between life as it is today compared to life after an Israeli military strike. It’s life after that strike compared to an Iran with nuclear weapons.”

“If Israel did this and Iran engaged in a full-scale retaliation, would we have any choice but to get involved in that conflict?” Kelly questioned Bolton.
“It would depend for the Obama Administration on what Iran actually did,” Bolton responded. “I think the most likely Iranian retaliation would be to unleash Hezbollah on innocent Israeli populations. I don’t think Iran would attack American forces in the region. If they did, I think our response should be devastating.”
