Description
The extensive publicity around the release of George W Bush's memoir Decision Points has underplayed an important detail with ever more relevance to contemporary international politics: that in 2005-06 his administration considered an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. The former United States president acknowledges divisions among his advisers over any such move, but the fact that it was on the White House's agenda confirms that the warnings of independent analysts were close to home (see Iran: Consequences of a War [Oxford Research Group, February 2006] and "The next Iran war" [16 February 2006]).
