can Iranians face US invasion, if US will really attack them?

The outcomes of such war would be pretty unsure, provided the US don't use chemical or nuclear weapons. The reason being that Iranians can be less equipped than the US but they are millions (millions of people in the Army i mean + those who would take a weapon should the US attack, exactly as it is happening in Iraq). \nDespite what many Americans or other people may think, Iranians are not stupid nor very much afraid of Americans. I think a war against Iran would end up exactly as the war in Iraq. Thay may fix Ahmadinejad but not all the clones coming out of there, turning the war into a permanent guerrilla, which in turn would cause a Vietnam-like situation. \nIt's what is happening in Afghanistan; it's what's happening in Iraq (And the US don't seem to envisage any tactics change) and it will also happen with Iran and Syria (Where Bush is planning to go immediately after Iran, as soon as he gets another valid excuse to gain some more oil fields). \nAnother point is: Are you all sure that EVEN IF, should the US win a war against Iran, causing millions of victims, that would be a victory in economic and diplomatic terms. No because what many out there didn't get yet is that in the world there are other countries too apart from the US and that means that certain actions are subject to the approvals of others too, at least because if you start a war next to my home country, i may have to handle refugees, terrorists etc. \nIn short, i think the outcomes of a war between US and Iran are very very far from seeing the Americans 100% winners. As a matter of fact they are not winning in Afghanistan nor in Iraq at the moment (It's a fact!).\n\nAnd mind me, all the above doesn't come from an antiamerican integralistic muslim, but rather from a Pro-America italian who has simply realized that the US are going a little bit too far in their so called "DEMOCRATIZATION" of middle east. And for those who may find my statements insulting, i'd suggest you all to wonder why the US didn't invade Saudi Arabia yet, since they are the root of the problem in that area...Will it be because Saudi Arabia produces 1/3 of all oil reserves in the world? Or because they enjoy a special relationship with the US? Or because they allow the US to keep their airforce bases over there (although not liking americans)?.....\nWinning a war is not simply killing the enemy and leaving the country. In these cases it's more about FIXING THE ONGOING ISSUES AND STABILIZING THE AREAS. \n\nThis would be best achieved with a President that is not Bush!A new Reagan would do as he had the brain it took and the balls to keep it real when situations get hard to handle, like in this case.

Probably not. The US is currently involved in both Iraq and Afghanistan, plus the cost of attacking Iran could prove to be very, very high. I imagine the Israelis will take out the Iranian nuclear capabilities at some point, should the US not intervene.

There is going to be a war with Iran and there is nothing anyone can do to stop it. If the USA does not stop iran they will develope a nuclear war head and get it to the U.S. because they hate American's and freedom, Also they think it will please thier god(who is gay) they are going to have to be B.I.T.C.H. slapped or the west is doomed.

Good god NO. If we attack Iran Syria will invade Iraq and our troops there will be flanked from the east and the west, not to mention what other Arab countries would jump in. Our troops in Iraq would get slaughtered.

Definately.  The war in Iraq isn't going that well for us, and Iran is a bigger, more powerful country.

It will be a suicide to do so and the US generals know that. \nIran is a big country. People are intelligent and cultivated. The civil resistance to any military invasion will be very strong especially that the country is not build to worship one man or a dictatorship so the country will not fall fast when Tehran will be taken as happened in Iraq. \nOn the other hand, the military technology is fairly advanced in Iran. It will not be as easy as it was in Iraq and Afghanistan.\n\nit will be a disaster for the US to invade Iran without extensive study

There's lots of saber rattling right now, but I think the people in power would be stupid to try and invade Iran - the Islamic view of the Western nations isn't so great as it is (especially now), and any attack against Iran would really be adding fuel to the fire.

If US attack Iran, it will be the beginning of a collapse for all.  Neither Iran nor US will win the war. We all will face with the ugly consequences of a war and we all directly or indirectly will be affected. But for sure the war opportunists and beneficiaries will won something in $. \n\nWinning a war is not simply to take control of a land, have other components also. Bush and his crew should have some considerable amount of reasons($) to push their country and the world to a very dangerous edge. They do not concentrate internal problems but prefer to play the guard of the world with poor justifications.

OK, what I say here is what I think, I will try to give facts to prove it but anyways it can be completely wrong.\nI think US will not tolerate a Nuclear Iran not because Iran will use nukes against anyone(They are not that insane) but because a nuclear Iran will collapse all power equations of Middle East.\nArab world will be at full time terror (You must know that Iranians are not Arab and  don't have good relationships at all with Arabs of Persian Gulf) and you must know that these Arabs are allies of US.\nIran can be strong enough to force US out of Persian Gulf and this in not what US can tolerate. it also shake the Israel really hard.\nIran claim that they are doing a peaceful nuclear thing is 100% correct but if Iran would be able to do all the enrichment process it can use it to make a nuke and US has given blueprints for a nuke to Iran itself for God knows reason, US have claimed that they have given the wrong blueprints to Iran but they are aware that Iranian have good researchers(Most of them have degrees from US)\nAnyways I don't think a WWIII like previous WWs take place because Nuke countries are affraid of each other more than they can simply invade each other, next WW will be an economic one and it has started already, its between China and US and China is doing better till now.\nLast of all I want to remind you that Iran and Israel have  relationships, maybe they are not allies but they have same enemies and benefits and lot more, till now they only have yelled at each other, no more than that, Iran nuclear program has been in process for 40 years, if Israel wanted to attack them they could do it at the same time they do it in Iraq, after Iran-Iraq war when Iran was at it worst military point not now that they have bought lots of Russian equipments which I will tell no more.

Surely Iran won't start to attack,but if US or Israel attack Iran, Iran will answer them,and it's definite right to answer them,Iranian are peaceful people but they are very patriot, they can't stand attacking their country,but in this game many innocent people will lose their life, i hope Israel and US be more wise about this.

None of them. US can't attack any of them. I know US have the best and newest type of weapon but N.Korea have nuke bomb and if Us attack them they will fire them and US with all of it's weapon can't stop them in the air. Also Iran is a very big country and it has a lot of loyal soldiers and it will be a long and hard war with many casualty for US. I know all of them so I'm sure US leaders know these so for certain US won't attack N.Korea or Iran. Iraq was different from Iran or N.Korea because Iraq's people were against Saddam and his dictates and also Iraq didn't defense against US but with all of this facts US have a lot of problems in Iraq so it's another reason. For attacking Iran or N.Korea US need other countries help because it doesn't have enough soldier and also US need other countries to reduce global pressure on US about beginning war in the world. Another reason: N.Korea and Iran if be attacked may do anything they can't and threat the world they may explode what they can. My evidence is Iran's leader's speech which was about this subject, he said we will ruin the world if we will be attacked by another country and he threated to stop producing and transporting oil in the world.

of Course ! that will be one of US hiding reason after WMD for invade Iran. Bush will take that option coz Iran is a threat for economic and politic of US.especially for rhe democracy program in middle east.

I don't think saturation nuking will work, as that they won't penetrate the underground bunkers. The USA will just have to invade and risk yet another Vietnam. The invaders will all become junkies (20% of Iranians are on hard drugs) and when they lose they will have to admit millions of Iranian Shiite refugees into the USA. It's tough, I know, but there is really no alternative. The USA must stay the course. They can't let the terrorists claim victory.
