A worst case scenario would unroll if the US were to launch a major air strike against Iranian nuclear facilities in the next few months.  A limited air strike against a "choke point", such as the Iranian uranium conversion facility at Isfahan, would like disrupt Iran's nuclear program for a long time.  The problem is what happens then?\n\nIran will respon in some way, all of which are devastatint to regional and international security.  They could lob scuds at Israel and US bases in the region.\n\nThe could block the Strait of Hormuz, cutting off the oil pipeline.\n\nThey could stop selling oil.\n\nThey could use their connections with Hezbullah to launch terrorist strikes against US interest.\n\nThey could do all or any of the above in combination. The only feasible targeting of a US nuclear attack would be the hardened facility at Natanz, under 75 ft of hard rock.  The other nuclear facilities are soft targets and can be taken out by conventional weapons.\n\nWhatever course the US takes, be prepared for the UNIMAGINABLE>

Bush is an idiot, but Iran is a threat. Why Irans leader would put his whole country in jeapordy is just dumb. The US would destroy Iran and not even feel a scratch. Noone is that niave to think that any country right now could invade the US, so this means all wars are fought on their soil.. dumb moves.

Sure, if they want to start WW III. On NPR a week ago some military guy was saying that in every scenario of an attack on Iran it ended up with a huge uncontrollable war involving the entire middle east. ITMFA!

What makes you think that the US is going to invade Iran?\n\nDid you think about this at all?

No. We've been here before with Korea and Vietnam. America would be incredibly stupid to make the same mistake again. \n\nIf America invades Iran (as America, and not through its proxy, Israel) America will be taken apart and humiliated in several ways:\n\n1 Militarily - America never wins such wars. It does not understand the passion of the peoples it oppresses. It always makes the mistake that military might wins out - it rarely does - the spirit of the people brings victory - and that spirit swells in the oppressed.\n\n2 Politically - all the World, and notably Europe, with Russia and China, will stand against America.\n\n3 Economically - the Islamic World will decimate US trade, not just oil, but shipping, property, automobile, air, military sales - you name it.\n\nThere will be no third World War over Iran - but America will be mightily defeated by the will of the third World.

One sincerely hopes that a war between Iran and the US never breaks out. But judging from the way things are turning out, war is a very real possibility. If war does break out:-\nThere will be heavy casualties on both sides. However, Iran will have to eventually concede defeat, or be wiped off. Though Iran has a large military force, it is largely antiquated and their might is still nowhere compared to what the US and its allies can bring to bear. All Iran's confident rhetoric and talk is only for public consumption and is actually to pep up their own troops and countrymen. Though it may have acquired weapons and delivery systems through its clandestine programme, their true capabilities are still suspect. Remember, both Saddam and the Taliban also behaved with similar over-confidence and arrogance before the conflicts began and in the initial stages.\nAlso, the US will not be alone. They will have allies as most of the developed nations consider Iran a rogue state, and will either back the US or at least tow their line. While many think the entire Moslem/Arab world will unite behind Iran, I feel that may not happen. Remember Iran is not an Arab nation. Deep down, there are significant differences simmering between the Sunni Arab states and largely Shiite Iran. While there will be rumblings of opposition to US action, I doubt any Arab state will cast their lot with Iran when it comes to taking up arms and actually fighting. Some independent militia groups might though.... Also, commercial considerations carry weight and siding with the US or being mute spectators is best for the Arab world in the long run. For the US, the key is to keep Israel out of the conflict. Iran will surely strike at Israel and if Israel retaliates, then Arab nations may offer support to Iran. Therefore, Israel should be kept out of action and protected from an Iranian strike at all costs. \nOne thing is certain, a war like this could escalate into a global one and any war there will alter the geo-strategic and economic balances in the region. \nThere will be a realignment of Moslem/Arab nations. The oil sector will be most radically affected.

Never. Iraq was not a succesful example for US. They'll put more economical pressure on Iran rather than military action.

The us is already at war with iraq and terrorism mainly. if we were to go to war with iran our problem would be multiplied by a catastrophic amount possibly leading to world war three.\n\nI also disagree with the person right before me it is a problem to every one . iran will want to use those weopons on the first person that pisses them off they are a ticking time bomb.

US will not dare attacking Iran. Iran isn't like Iraq and is the biggest military power in the middle east. Iran is one of the biggest suppliers of oil in the world, if this attack happens the prices of oil will rise to big amounts like 90 dollars, and maybe even more. US knows that it has several military bases in the range of Iranian missles and in the case of this war Iran can easily hit American bases specially in Iraq. United States knows that in the case of this attack Iran isn't the loser, because the people of Iran have always supported their country in the case of a war. Iran has some close allies in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon each one of these allies can cause big damages to the American troops.\nAirforce is not an option. United States can't attack Iran with airforce because of the new anti aircraft and missle systems Iran has bought from Russia. Nuclear War is not going to happen.\nBut we have seen many idiotic acts from the American Govt. so anything is possible.

If there is a war between USA and Iran it will be because Iran is threatening Western Europe and Israel. If that happens, then Iran will be bombed to destroy its infrastructure the way Vietnam was bombed.  Any war with Iran will be a defensive war in response to what Iran has done just as the war in Iraq was due to Iraq's attack on Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Israel and other middle eastern countries.  The USA contrary to public opinion is not a war monger and does not get involved in war unless it is attacked itself, or its allies are attacked.  The US was asked by many oil producing countries to get involved in Iraq, but sadly was not allowed to admit that this is what happened.

peace with you , look in my point of view:\niran may loss the war with U.S. and may win , but this depends on what is wining and what is losing , anyways, iran will not succumb to a forigen pressure,\nsimbily this because this is a war on islam not a war on iraq or on iran ....\ndays will show you and everyone that U.S. will compose a new stories to fight jordon ,syria and Egypt, but be sure U.S. will lose , do u know why?,\nbecause it's the evil .... days will show u too. \nby the way i come from Egypt ,and i don hate americans ppl , but i wonder why they accept on what bush do...!!!

No. Bush already has created the next Vietnam in Iraq. A war that's basically going nowhere. Imagine if we attacked Iran by ourselves? First of all, we'd lose. There's no way Iran would cave in just like Iraq did. Iraq was already a split nation(kind of like ours, ironically) and Iran is completely united against us. \n\nIf anything, the United Nations will have to do this together if they really want to, but I doubt we will. \n\nAnd a response to looking into the Saudi Arabia nuclear program: THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN. Bush is strong allies with Saudi Arabia's leaders. Are you joking? Gas prices would reach 20$ a gallon the day he decides to do anything in Saudi Arabia. Besides, why would he, he makes money with those people.

Did US find nukes in Iraq? Do you think USA is right? How many more dead soldiers (iraqies/iranian/american) will stop wars?  USA will not nuke iran.

If the US went to war with Iran, I would side with the Iranians. I am not sure we would have ANY allies. \nYes, we have the technological capability to project force and \ninflict major losses to the Iranian military. This would put " paid" to any expectations of maintaning control in Iraq and we would be seen as a nation of war criminals.\n\nAs a Muslim country, Iran would be seen as a victim of US military aggression throughout the Islamic countries and this might cause irrepairable harm to any standing we still have in the Middle East.  We would become the Great Satan, as we were described in the years following the Iranian Revolution.\n\nSuch an attack could unify much of the Middle East in a way not previously achieveable and have disasterous social, political and economic consequences.  Forget oil from the UAE.\n\nAS to nuclear devices: Iran is at least 10 years away from having nuclear weapons. Recently India, ( which like Pakistan developed nuclear weaponry ) was allowed futher access to American nuclear technology even though it has never singed the Non Prolifertion Treaty. \nNorth Korea has developed its own program as well.\n\nBased on the foolish rhetoric coming from the early days of the Bush Administration, Iran probably feels threatened by being labeled as part of an Axis of EVil by a hypocritical United States president who led his nation into a war for access to Middle Eastern Oil - under false pretenses. \n\nHaving already mired us into a 3 year quagmire, our forces would be stretched to a breaking point if we open another major front.  Not only would world opinion condemn the US, but most of the poplation would hold this government accountable as well.  I could be the end of a lot of things. \n\nThese are interesting times.

I've been saying this for months. I've told EVERYBODY that after the elections, the U.S., Great Britain, and/or Israel WILL strike Iran.\n\nThink about it...  . . .We're not about to let them get NUCLEAR BOMBS.
