U.S. general: The only way to stop Iran from getting the bomb is to occupy it

Senator Reed prodded further, getting the general to agree that a military strike would only delay Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon if Tehran decided to go nuclear.

The senator then went further, asking whether the only way to absolutely end any potential Iranian nuclear weapon programme “was to physically occupy their country and disestablish their nuclear facilities?”

The general answered: “Absent some other unknown calculus that would go on, that’s a fair conclusion.”
