In 2003, when Libyan leader Muammar Qadhafi decided to come in from the cold, U.S. and British specialists rushed in to physically dismantle his industrial base so that he could not change his mind.
The question then becomes who will physically remove Iran’s nuclear material. Many diplomats might say that is a job for the IAEA, but it is doubtful the United States, let alone Israel, will trust the IAEA given its own partisanship and history of ineffectiveness.
Since the Israel-Iran conflict began, former IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei has been particularly partisan in his antagonism toward Israel.
While Trump is opposed to U.S. “boots on the ground,” he may need to decide if U.S. nuclear and logistics specialists count.
If not, perhaps then he should turn to allies.
Here, India could play a key role, given that they are perhaps the only country in the world that has the trust of the United States, Israel, and Iran.
Whatever Trump decides, the worst option would be to rest on laurels and stand down, for the danger of loose nuclear material getting into the hands of terrorists or irregular forces will remain high until it can be secured and spirited out of Iran.
