The fuel is fissioning and power is being supplied to the grid. It's probably too late to bomb without generating considerable bad press.
Bushehr is live

Or at least, that's what their control systems are letting them believe.... lol.
So are you giving up on the certainty of an Israeli/US attack on Iran?

It seems that Syria will be the route taken in. Then again, that may be a distraction - but Syria is easier to take than Iran.
Since bombing Bushehr will be a no go now (hopefully) and bombing the enrichment plants had similar radioactive fallout problems, taking over the ground is the only way to bring both operations to a shut down. Since Iran has lots of untapped oil and they are being disruptive selling in Euros this would be the rational course for the US (and the UK would go along) but the Euro powers might have an issue with it. Letting people buy in Euros props up the Euro and really helps out when the world isn't sure that your currency is worth anything. Libya was easy. Gaddafi wanted to sell oil in gold and neither the US nor Europe has enough of that stuff to be able to afford to run their economies for very long.
