Iran Threatening to Quit Nuclear Treaty, how soon until the bombs are falling?

Israel would do this before the US. The US might encourage Israel to do it, but wouldn't actually pull the trigger.\n\n--------------\nTo your added comments:\n\nIsrael because they have been directly threatened by Iran. This would make it appear "justified". The US has no reason to attack Iran.\n\nI sort of agree with you on Iraq. The US definitely wants a military presence in that region. However, I think we'd prefer a friendly government in Iraq, with the only criteria for "friendly" being selling us cheap oil. Saddam met this criteria from the 1960's through the 1980's. That why we helped him gain power, and that's why we supported him throughout that period.

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!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, it appears to me that several events are starting to line up quickly. Hamas and the cut off of their funds is a ticking time bomb. The Iranian president is trying to provoke a conflict with the west in a attempt to usher in the Muslim messiah. If the U.S. or Israel attacks Iran their will be a response that could be the one foretold in Ez ch 38. That in turn could be the conflict that results in a peace treaty with Israel which is the start of the tribulation.

The next big one will start with nukes going off at the same time in Tel Aviv, NY, DC, and London. \n\nThat will be from Iran's Hamas, next will be freighters in all of the US shipping ports having nukes in lead shielded boxes in the fuel oil tanks of merchant ships. \n\nThat will effectively take the US completely out of it in the first 30mins of WW3 \n\nNow after that North Korea will take South Korea and China will take Japan and as much of Russia as possible. \n\nEurope will wisely sue for peace with China as the new World Super power. After things calm down a bit negotiations between the EU and China will take place. The former US will be divided up between the two based upon the premise that France will not nuke what is left. \n\nDuring these negotiations the EU and China will also plan a lightning take over of the middle east which will also be divided up between the two powers. \n\nWhen all is said and done there will be peace and technological progress unheard of before.

Yes, the countdown has certainly begun.  This is a time of crises for the world.  I would hope that the used of nuclear weapons against Iran would be the last resort.  Because the first time nuclear weapons are to be used by any nation in an offensive measure, they must prepare to be counter attacked accordingly.  This could easily cause a chain reaction between countries and their allies sparking the Armageddon that we have feared sine the nuclear age has come alive.

Iran's president IS nuts, basically. He's spouting nonsense for internal consumption and hasn't completely understood yet that the international media picks it up and runs with it. Iran may or may not really be nuclear capable, but the ayatollahs who really run the country want their populace to think so. In any case, don't bomb them...yet.

Not frustrated, this is to be expected, and absolutely, eventually somebody will have to act, it will not be a united UN.\n\n---\n\nIn response to themayorbynight, this is not complicated situation at all. Sanctions against Iran are not going to impact oil at all, Iran is not a significant oil producing nation. We have a leader with the same rhethoric as Hitler, threatening neighbors and openly resolving to arm his nation to be able to do more than threaten. The answers is very simple, he must be stopped. Its unclear how sanctions will bring this about, so as I see it Iran has a choice, do so now willingly, or be forced to do so. It's pretty black and white.

If they are stupid enough to fire a nuke I think all nations with nukes should respond in kind. A few dozen big mushroom clouds coming from all the major powers would have a startling effect on all the countries who want to have a nuke.  Imagine it. One nuke from every country that has the capability to hit Iran. That would be like a huge "WHO IS NEXT" sign for the world to see.

For those of you who aren't hooked on the History Channel... (I might be a geek...)  If Iran does not comply with requests to shut down its nuclear program (regardless of its intent)... the U.S. primary strike will most likely be from the air.  A ground assault would require 300,000 troops which would put an enormous strain on the Armed Forces already spread into any area Uncle Sam's engorged nose is poked.\n\nBecause Iran most likely keeps terrorists funded, this initial strike may cause an increase of car bombings in Iraq and other places the U.S. has landed itself including, perhaps, her own soil.  Iran would most likely use the same guerilla warfare tactics being used in Iraq.\n\nIran has a professional army of 800,000 plus an untrained organization of recruits that number around 7 million.  One tactic the U.S. may use to prevent a duplication of the Iraq situation is to strike fast and hard from the air and promise that the next attack will be an all out invasion which would level any Iranian threat.  The hope is that the thought of a massive U.S. invasion would quell any Iranian urges to retaliate.\n\nThe problem with Iran is that it is 4 times as big as Iraq and its people are larger in number and different in character.  This is a proud nation, one which has had the longest standing borders of the middle eastern world.  Its a nation with a history of power and prestige.  And as recent history shows us, they have citizens willing to literally throw themselves at the enemy.  (Iraq/Iran war.)\n\nSo will an American attack on Iran prevent their uranium enrichment ambitions?  Maybe.  But let's remember that keeping the Iranian people happy while constraining the Iranian government is an extremely tricky thing to do.  And as long as Iran continues being elusive about their nuclear program and the U.S. adamant about knowing... an attack on Iran might be in our future.\n\nThe New York Times has a report quoting credible sources saying that the U.S. army is already training for an Iranian war.\n\nFor the U.S. government's reasons for going to war, see this link.\nhttp://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,123081,00.html

Your country's "President" needs to be wiped off the face of this earth and all it's Mullahs stripped of their power and moolah. ;-)\n\nOtherwise, I think we should nuke Iran.

It is bad that any country has atomic bombs. As of now, it is not proven Iran has atomic weapons, it is only proven they have enriched uranium.

Worst case scenario guess...\n\n1) UN tries "sanctions"... Iran continues anyway... because they are an evil regime (Note that I did not say that the vast majority of Iranian people are evil.. it is the leadership and extremists, not the majority of the people)and do not care about anyone else anyway\n2) UN tries to organize countries to "act".. the UN pansies around as they always do... actions are not strong enough and limits are not enforced\n3) Iran then threatens use of Nukes (whether hey have them yet or not) if Sanctions are not lifted....\n4) Israel will not stand for this, since they will be the primary target... Israel wipes out Iran, with the US on the back burner making sure other nations do not attack Israel

The whole MAD business.  If both sides start using nuclear weapons, the world has a good chance of ending.  So, no one actually uses them.  I'm guessing if Iran actually uses them, the US won't retaliate because no one wants to use nuclear weapons.

Under the Nuclear arms reduction treaty. We are obligated to maintain a predetermined amount of A-bombs.\n\nBy blowing off a few nukes the Weapons contractors could get the resupply contract. According to the FAR Federal Acquisition Regulations.at $50M a copy for A-bombs that is automatically $5M profit over and above all cost of production. Or as they say at the Lobbyist luncheon I'll give you 5 million reason$ to Bomb Iran.\n\nGo big Red Go

I think so. Iran is wanting nuclear weapons. They should live under the same rules as everyone else.
