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>

Iran was a U.S. ally until the Islamic Revolution in 1979.  When they deposed the Shah of Iran and his wife from power we gave them sancuary in the U.S.  As a result students stormed the U.S. Embassy and held the entire staff 40 some people hostage for 444 days before releasing them.  We supported Saddam's Iraq in the war between Iran and Iraq that lasted for 7 years, however we did sell some arms to Iran during the Reagan Presidency thus causing the Iran -Contra Scandal.  The Iranian people have what is close to an Islamic state and are currently thumbing their nose at the worlds nations questions about their Nuclear Program. They are saying if the Nations insist on Arms Inspectors to be allowed access to what they are doing, then they will not allow them in and go full force into the project.  Their current President is also sponsoring a conference to discuss the myth that we call the Holocust.\n\n1) From the above stated I believe that the Iranian people have what they are calling a democracy, in which the people have very little say.\n\n2) From the above stated I believe that the Iranian government is led by those that are more than a few bricks shy of a full load.

The Iranian people need to realize the world is behind them{the people , not necessarily their government}. As an American, you probably don't care for me very much, but believe me we're pulling for you to retain your democracy, and your heritage as a tolerant, intelligent people, that  will return to the world stage ,embracing nations and  influencing them for the positive ,as Persia did for so many centuries. I sincerely hope someday, America and Iran, the people can come together. Even though our governments may clash at this point in history, power flows from the people whether those in power believe it or not, and someday the peoples of Iran and the US, even though there may be some differences, will join together for a better world!

Actually, there are many Iranians which have come to America. This started in the late 70's after the Shah was exciled and Khomeni came into power establishing the current hardline islamic state. I believe we may see another wave of refugees as  Iran persists with such initiatives as "labeling" non-muslims. As far as your question, the US does not prohibit Iranians from coming here.

This is a country that has been openly preaching hate and advocating obliteration of its enemies for nearly thirty years. I HOPE the U.S. attacks Iran rather than allowing it to become a nuclear power. I'm afraid that if it does, it will have to carry the burden by itself, because the rest of the world has shown itself unenthusiastic for unrewarding but necessary hardships.

Why is it the the U.S. can have nuclear weapons and Iran can't?

No one plan to Nuke the US specially Iranian, there are more Irani people in US than you can imagine, just go check your best universities like MIT or Stanford.\nThe only attack to US has done by Bin Laden and if you know he was created by CIA in order to prevent Afghanestan to have a government like Iran and Iranian supported Anti Taliban groups in Afghanestan all the time that US was supporting them, and Iran government yelled that he is a murderer, its not Iranian fault.\nUS don't like Iran to be a nuclear power, its a fact but you must search the reason elsewhere, its not hollywood movies, its politics.\nA nuclear Iran will ruin all power equations in Middle East. Even they can force US to leave the territory. That's the real reason.\nIran has threatened Israel to wipe out of the map for 30 years and nothing actually has happened and will not happen.\nThe main use of Nuke isn't military, its political, look at India and Pakistan, they declared they are both have nukes at the same time. they both have it but it was hidden, when one did a nuclear test the other one did it about a week. Can you get my point?\nAbout Iran and Israel there are many hidden facts that I'm not in the mood to repeat(if you really like to know them ask here or email me)\nAnyways don't worry, we will not nuke you, one who has to worry is me because once nice Americans  attacked an Iranian AirBus which was full of civilan travelers and I'm young and want to live long to see my grandchildren.
