It'll be a chain reaction, Iran nukes Israel, Israel has time to fire off retaliatory strike, US jumps in to protect Israel, N. Korea seizes the opportunity to invade the south while the US is busy and stretched thin, so too does the People's Chinese Army takes over Taiwan, In order to stop Korea with limited manpower, US uses tactical nukes, in response China lofts to continental US targets, automatic triggers in US Strategic Command send nukes toward China....can you live thru all this....hmmm, maybe if you join stnglove in his deep silo.

Iran won't have a deliverable nuke for 5 or more years so we have plenty of time to work an alternative solution.\n\nMaybe the world will get lucky and they'll nuke themselves or fry enough of their technicians in accidents before they get "The Bomb".

What about, a embargo of Iranian oil that shuts down their whole economy?\n\nThere claim of peaceful use is not realistic.  With all the oil that they have, why do they need nuclear energy for electricity?  If they stop selling the oil, they will have electricity forever.

It would be nice if styles and mores reverted back to the 1950's, but I don't think they will.\n\nIran will probably nuke Jerusalem which will precipitate the total devastation of the muslim middle east and result in the subsequent reassignment of national borders in that region.  \n\nRussia will probably believe that they need to neutralize us before they destroy Israel to end further use of nuclear bombs.\n\nMost people think the "Cold War" ended hostilities between the uSA and the Soviet Union, but I'm sure THEY don't think so.  It's my bet nukes will fly and our coasts will be fried, but our inland areas saved by Patriot missiles.  We'll probably retaliate in kind, cause vast devastation over there, but they have so many bomb shelters, life will go on.\n\nThe results of all the nuclear fallout will replace "global warming" as the rallying cry for environmentalists and they will get the one world government they've always wanted, but they'll find out in short order that it's not the warm & fuzzy grandmother style nanny-state they'd hoped for.  \n\nChina will see all this as an opportunity to leverage their own power-play and they will burst upon the scene with an army of unprecedented size to take whatever land area they can.  \n\nIt gets bumpy from there.

ISRAEL has drawn up secret plans for a combined air and ground attack on targets in Iran if diplomacy fails to halt the Iranian nuclear programme. \nThe inner cabinet of Ariel Sharon, the Israeli prime minister, gave “initial authorisation” for an attack at a private meeting last month on his ranch in the Negev desert. \n\n \n \nIsraeli forces have used a mock-up of Iran’s Natanz uranium enrichment plant in the desert to practise destroying it. Their tactics include raids by Israel’s elite Shaldag (Kingfisher) commando unit and airstrikes by F-15 jets from 69 Squadron, using bunker-busting bombs to penetrate underground facilities.

VERY possible...depends on how serious Iran is about the destruction of Israel.  i can't think of a country MORE deserving of being nuked into oblivion.

Wrong Buddy. Remember you have some crazy people who will do anything to get a nuke in their hands. Anyone from terrorists, to warlords. The civilized world, notice like the US, France, Britain, and so forth, use their nukes as a deterrent. You know u nuke me, I'll nuke you back. Crazy countries like Iran just wants nukes to WIPE ISRAEL OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH!!! So therefore, it is in the best interest of the civilized world that certain countries contain and hold nukes.

"Might makes right"\n\nWhoever is in power makes the rules.  Its always been that way, always will be.\n\nCurrently there is a situation between the West and the Middle East.  If the power structure was reversed, would the Middle East allow the West to have nukes?

Unlike North Korea (who seems to use their nuclear sabre-rattling every decade or so to extort financial aid from the UN) I am convinced that a nuclear-armed Iran would most certainly detonate a payload somewhere. A move against Israel is very believeable. Iran has shown an attitude of support for islamo-fascist terrorism also. It is not inconceivable for an Iranian produced nuke to end up in a suitcase in say, Times Square.\n\nIf you are a rational citizen of the world and you are not concerned about this issue, you are either very dumb or asleep.

I know you're not serious, but here's a target assessment:\nMajor cities. Tehran, with a population of over 6 million, as well as Mashad with well over a million and Esfahan, Tabriz, and Shiraz, all of which are near one million, are the largest. Altogether there are over 30 cities with populations exceeding 100,000. But it is hard to envision any scenarios which would focus on urban destruction. Further, as soft targets, these cities could be devastated by relatively small nuclear weapons. There is no conceivable requirement for high-yield strategic weapons to attack Iranian urban targets.\n\nInfrastructure. A concentrated conventional attack on Iranian infrastructure (major bridges, rail yards, power generation and transmission facilities, telecommunications centers, industrial plants, and fuel depots) could certainly destroy the Iranian economy.  These are almost all soft targets susceptible to attack by conventional weapons. Only in extreme cases would any use of lower-yield nuclear weapons be at all attractive.\n\nCommand and control. Iran's key leaders are religious figures, so targeting the national leadership necessarily means targeting major religious centers. Such an action could only result in a firestorm of opposition throughout the Muslim world; this makes any specific targeting of the Iranian national leadership impractical. At a lower level, the Joint Staff of the Ministry of Defense, with its subordinate Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as well as an Operational Area Command and several field headquarters could certainly be targeted.\n\nSome of these may be in hardened locations, but the biggest targeting challenge would undoubtedly be identifying exact locations, especially in a time of crisis. Conceivably, attacks on some identified, hardened command centers could be carried out with nuclear weapons.\n\nThe contamination to nearby countries would prohibit the use of nuclear weapons, unless there were extreme circumstances.

soon, it definitely depends on Iran - if Iran does not comply and keeps going for nuclear weapons, we will be invading Iran for sure.  \n\nNear-term Iran, However I think China down the road may be WWIII if there ever is one.

Now that is one big question lol. I would say this to you, what do you want from iran?\nOk so Iran gets nukes so what?\nSo they give them to some bad guys so what?\nSo bad guys give them to us like say 3 of our biggest cities. May four cities. Now what do we need to do to Iran?\nHow many got to die before we make a decision?\nIt is coming and soon!!!!!!!!!!

Well Britain , Australia , the US have shown that they\nare responsible with their nukes and will not use them to kill million of people however Iran is different. The President of Iran had said that Israel should be wiped off the face of the planet> I don't know about you but I don't trust nuclear technology to a person who goals is to wipe another country out of existence.He had apparently said that the world will end in three years and his goal is to bring chaos and destruction to the world to bring about \nthe reign of a Muslim prophet . This Prophet will make the world an Islamics world- Can you trust a guy who said all that with nukes??\n\n there a different process to transform Uranium to\nuse for Power than for weapon . the problem is that Iran\nrefused Russia offer to enrich Uranium for them to make sure it wont be used for WMD. .This is a compromise agreed on by the UN to let Iran have nuclear power for energy consummation. Why? the obvious reason is the want nuclear grade uranium for WMD.

most probably america will easily solve this by droping a nuke on the iranians...maybe they'll drop it on moscow too if its convientent since they like bombing up other countries like japan,vietnam,afghanistan,iraq....etc..
