The US Will Seek to Destroy Iran as a Nation

I had a conversation with Scott Ritter, a former intelligence officer in the US Marine Corps and a former UN Weapons Inspector. Ritter is convinced that the US will go to war unless Iran agrees to a new nuclear agreement, and in such a war, the objective will be the complete destruction of Iran as a nation.

Scott Ritter expresses his full understanding for why Iran does not trust the US and he has been very critical of US and Israeli aggression in the region and threatening behaviour toward Iran. Nonetheless, Ritter argues that irrespective of which side is right or wrong, the reality is that the US will attack Iran if it cannot get a deal. The US could not be successful in a prolonged war, and it could not risk Iran developing a nuclear deterrent after the war. As a result, the US would likely attack Iran with overwhelming force, possibly involving tactical nuclear weapons, and the objective would be to completely destroy Iran as a nation.
