No doubt a pretext will be found, but that is not the point. As folk are fond of pointing out, decisions have consequences. Has the US considered the consequences?
On a separate tack, there are many countries now that have a nuclear capability that are hostile to the US and with a more developed capability, so why Iran but not DPRNK for example. The US says it does not want to be world policeman but this smacks of that.
