The risks and benefits of bombing Fordow. Spoiler alert: It’s a close call.

To bomb or not to bomb? That is the question which, quite unexpectedly, has come to dominate U.S. politics in the past day or so.
For months, President Donald Trump was urging Israel not to attack Iran and to give his diplomatic efforts a chance to work. When Israel unleashed its bombing campaign late Thursday night, the immediate administration response was a noncommittal statement from Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Rubio did not offer any support for the Israeli action and stressed: “We are not involved in strikes against Iran.”
