Former Obama Administration strategist says US-perpetrated attack on Islamic Republic's nuclear program could spare world from very real threat
WASHINGTON - A former special adviser on Iran policy to the Obama Administration said that a US-perpetrated strike on the Islamic Republic on is the "least bad" option in dealing with its nuclear threat.
"The truth is that a military strike intended to destroy Iran’s nuclear program, if managed carefully, could spare the region and the world a very real threat and dramatically improve the long-term national security of the United States," Matthew Kroenig, a nuclear security expert at the Council on Foreign Relations who served as a strategist under Defense Secretary Robert Gates, said in an article published by Foreign Affairs Magazine.
But it was Rosler’s colleague Rainer Bruderle who had perhaps the most extreme reaction. Bruderle is the chair of the FDP group in the German Bundestag. “I am no fan of conspiracy theories,” Bruderle told the German business daily Handelsblatt, “But sometimes it is hard to avoid the impression that some American ratings agencies and fund managers are working against the euro zone.”
