Will US attack Iran?

Will US attack Iran?

Agree with the conclusion that the threat of war between Iran and the US in the immediate future is unlikly.

Unfortunately, “gunboat diplomacy” no longer works for Americans when the world community knows they would sell their souls and compromise their national honor to satisfy an adiction to Mid-East oil.

The Iranian leadership well knows this and will not be dissuaded from a campaign to further turn world opinion against the “great satan”.

If Iran continues on the current course, war will be unavoidable; if not with a Western alliance, it will be with a Mid-East confederation or Israel alone in its struggle to survive.

Will US attack Iran

The US with Britian must hit Iran hard. If they wait a couple of years it will be far worse.

Dont even think the US is bogged down in Iraq, they can mobilize their forces within hours and be on the Iranian border within 2 days. If the brits get involved because of the kidnapping of their sailors they will add thousands more troops to the battle field and if the brits and americans combine their forces Iran wont stand a chance. With the 2 carrier groups and 4 nuclear subs in the region the Iranians wont get off the ground and all their defences will not be effective. I served 8 years in the military and I know what the outcome will be, it will be total destruction and Iran will be on the recieving end... You can take that to the bank........

The 2 carrier groups alone have more than 100 fighter bombers and 4 nuclear submarines and many smaller ships including mine sweepers plus the B-1 bombers at Diego Garcia and any bomber fighters that the Brits have. So anyone who thinks Iran has a chance is totally screwed......

If the Iranians were to strike Israel then Israel will join the British and American forces and Iran will be a dust bowl for years.

No nuclear bombs will be necessary. with conventional weapons the Americans, British, and possible Israel in the mix, Iran will be devastated, no country in the world could stand up to these 3 nations combined and the Iranians must know they are in over their heads. Dont ever count out the ability of the United States to accurately weigh the odds...

Ahamadinejad youre at odds with the world powers

Ahamadinejad, keep running your mouth and you’ll be hiding in a hole in the ground just like Saddam, or maybe you’ll be ashes, I wouldn’t start a war because you have made 3 nations very angry. America, England, and Israel. close your mouth and save your ass. Open your mouth and prove youre just another fool....

Ahamadinejad is like a little dog that barks a lot but just before the battle he tucks his tail and runs like a rabbit.

I am an old military man. Ive seen a lot in my life. Im 68 years old. I would bet the rest of my years that Iran would lose the war within a few hours. Not days but hours..

The American dream is gone

Yes America is powerful but it is irresponsible and not that intelligent. The underestimation of others is characterised in American decisions. They ended up in shambles in Vietnam, Lebanon, Afaghanistan now in Iraq. Yes they can wipe out Iran (destry it) but they can not defeat the Iran fibre. They 3 combined are always troubled by exit strategies. May be they should start by planning their exit strategies even inside their own teritories.

Well, if the West attacks Iran it’s looking increasingly likely that Israel will attack too; thus the prospect of a Middle East Regional War is a frightening but very possible scenario. Iran won’t be a pushover like Iraq though.

Will US Atack Iran?

The question is not will they , the question is when? Iran denies the right of Israel to exist - BIG MISTAKE! President of Iran is messing with Israel and putting his people in danger. It is obvious that there will be many casualties in Iran. Has Mr. Ahamadinejad thought about his own people? The nuclear ambition of iranian president is putting Middle East and the whole world in danger. How can he talk about US being agressor if he himself is escalating the problem? US will screw up in Iraq anyway and will have to leave just give it some time Mr.Ahamadinejad. An old english saying goes “Don’t trouble the trouble untill trouble troubles you..."

The biggest mistake US will ever make is attack Iran???? It will pay a very heavy price and make us all innocent people suffer in the world. In my position I will allow any war in the world. we simply can not afford it. but who can explain this to US which is so anti-human..... and so selfish. However Iran attacks would proove fatal for the whole america, americans and the whole world will repend of the consequences....... watch my words.

is it a good decision to attack?

well, it might be but still what about the damages which might reach kazakhstan, saudi arabia, kuwait, and more other countries? will they stay calm after they got damaged? this is another issue to think about!!

US ATTACK

I think both country should settle their differences without war but from my point of view, I think the preident of iran will use his mouth to distroy his people. Strong men talk less and do more. Ahamadinejad should talk less and continue with his ambition.

stupid ahmedinejad

if ahmedinejad can simply keep his voice low, it would do one hell of a lot of good for the iranians. at least delay the inevitable. coz regardless who is in power, invasion of iran is vital for US strategic interests.
as for winning, i can comfartably say, we’d have won it before the iranians got to know it even started.

iran,counting ya days...

if the united states of america can fight the world with one hand tied at the back....wat the hell is iran...within few hours ahmed ior watever his name will run like a dog back to his mama’s skirt!

STAY ALERT

Listen up!...We are on high allert.Accordin to various intelegence outlets AL QAEDA and Iran are allied to attack us{the US}with small nuclear devices purchased on the black market if the US attacks Iran.Read PAUL L WILLIAMS book the Al qaeda connection or look up American Hiroshima.THIS IS NOT A JOKE........stay......alert................look up NOBLE RESOLVE..........

What will Iran do?

If Iran ever got hit by anyone, USA, Britain, Israel, whom ever. Than Iran will hit back at everyone in the Gulf and will continue to hit back over and over again, until the western forces are either forced to invade Iran, or leave the Middle East for ever. This will not be a one time strike and its over, Iran will destroy everything around it and will keep on doing so till one side or the other gives up. The Nuclear option in the hands of the west, would have to be used in a massive force to stop Iran, which would mean the contamination of the world. Iran knows that, and martyrdom is of no concern to its leaders. The rest of the world does not share this same value.

There is no way that the US will attack.

US ATTACK

WILL THE WEST AND ISRAEL BE ABLE TO LIVE WITH NUCLEAR IRAN? DO NOT THINK SO.IRAN WILL NOT GIVE UP ITS AMBITIONS, SO IT WILL HAVE TO BE CORRECTED!

Attack on Iran

One of the first U.S. objectives would be to destroy Iran’s navy, or to bottle it up in its home ports with mines. The U.S.N. would then control the Strait, not Iran. At the same time, aircraft and several hundred cruise missiles would be making surprise strikes on all the components of Iran’s air defenses. Using surprise, the U.S. would probably achieve air supremacy quickly.

At that point, probably within two days or less, Iran would be defenseless against a second round of air attacks on its most important nuclear sites. B-2’s would probably be the centerpiece of these attacks, using a new 28,000 lb. penetrating bomb against targets like the underground certrifuge galleries at Natanz.

It is significant that Nimitz is bringing so many destroyers with it — four. It may be relieving Ike as claimed — but Nimitz could arrive a day or so before a scheduled attack, as Ike left the Gulf. Ike could then stop in the Gulf of Oman while still within striking range.

That would temporarily make the fleet 3 carriers with 162 F/A-18’s; an amphibious group with an MEU aboard; at least 2 attack subs; and 4 cruisers and 11 destroyers, with a total of 1,500+ missile tubes. If 50% of these were reserved for air defense, the force would have more than 750 Tomahawks.

The hours of darkness, a nearly new moon, and political desirability of having the news break on a weekend make the 20th-21st look likely — if the Nimitz group can average about 26 mph. If not, the next weekend might also work.

Evidence of Iran meddling in Iraq...
:mad:
Coalition finds cache of Iranian money and weapons in Iraq
May 24, 2007 – Coalition forces in Iraq killed two “terrorists”, detained 19 “suspected terrorists” and uncovered a cache of Iranian money and bomb-making materials Wednesday morning in the Baghdad slum Sadr City, the U.S.-led military in Iraq announced.

]
“The individual targeted during the raid is suspected of facilitating weapons shipments from Iran to secret cell terrorist elements in Baghdad, Basrah and Maysan province”, a statement by the Multi-National Force – Iraq (MNF-I) said.

“Rogue militia elements and terrorists are seeking to destroy the future of Iraq”, said Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, MNF-I spokesperson. “We will continue to capture or kill them and dismantle their organisations”.

Coalition Forces searched 11 buildings during the operation. “As Coalition Forces moved to the site, four armed terrorists engaged them with small arms and automatic weapons. The ground force, acting in self-defense toward the hostile threat, returned fire and confirmed two of the four terrorists were killed”, the statement said, adding, “As they continued to search the buildings, Coalition Forces found a large quantity of Iranian money, more than $6,000 in U.S. money and improvised explosive device-making materials”.

Bush Wants Tougher Penalties on Iran
Thursday, May 24, 2007 — President Bush said Thursday the leaders of China and Russia “have got to understand” that they and the world will suffer if Iran is allowed to join the roster of nuclear-armed nations.

]
The Western members of the U.N. Security Council, plus Germany, have pushed for tough penalties against Iran for refusing to suspend uranium enrichment, which can produce fuel suitable to generate power or the weapons-grade material for nuclear warheads. But opposition from Russia and China has led the Security Council to settle for watered-down measures. Bush said Iran’s defiance means it is time to go further.

“The world has spoken and said, `You know, no nuclear weapons programs.' And yet they’re constantly ignoring the demands," he told reporters during a Rose Garden news conference. “My view is that we need to strengthen our sanction regime." Iran insists its nuclear program is only for developing energy and that giving it up would cripple Tehran’s goal of becoming a world power. Iran contend the penalties are illegal because it has the right to generate nuclear power under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.

The United States and its allies say Iran’s enrichment is about secretly pursuing nuclear weapons. The president said he planned to urge Chinese President Hu Jintao and Russian President Vladimir Putin than “an Iran with a nuclear weapon would be incredibly destabilizing for the world." The Security Council punished Iran in December for refusing to suspend its enrichment and modestly increased the penalties in March after Tehran stepped up its program. Iran responded by giving the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency less access to its nuclear facilities.

Who said anything about attacking Iran?

US downplays talk of Iran attack
October 31, 2007 - AFTER weeks of escalating US rhetoric on Iran, the White House vowed overnight vowed to “pursue every possible diplomatic means” to defuse the volatile dispute over Tehran’s nuclear program.

]
Spokeswoman Dana Perino sought to quiet fears that US President George W. Bush plans to attack the Islamic republic over its refusal to freeze sensitive nuclear work that can lead to the development of atomic weapons. “There’s no reason for people to think that the president is about to attack Iran. I think that we need to make that clear," she said. “He doesn’t want people to fear that, because what he is doing is pursuing a diplomatic track."

Ms Perino pointed to Mr Bush’s meetings next week with French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel as evidence of diplomatic efforts to convince Iran to bow to international pressure over its nuclear program. “He believes it’s important for him to pursue every possible diplomatic means in order to persuade Iran to stop its pursuit of a nuclear weapon," said the spokeswoman. Tehran denies seeking nuclear weapons.

Asked whether she was sure that Ms Bush was not about to strike Iran, Ms Perino said: “I’m positive of that, and we’re pursuing the diplomatic track." “It’s not the fault of the United States that we’re in this position. It’s the recalcitrance of Iran, they were provided a means to have a civil nuclear program with the cooperation of the international community, and they walked away from the table," she said.

“We would like to have them reverse that course, and (US) Secretary (of State Condoleezza) Rice said we would meet with her Iranian counterpart anytime, anywhere, but they’ve yet to take us up on that offer," said Ms Perino. “That’s why we pursued the sanctions last week and we are pushing for a third resolution in the UN Security Council - (which will) probably take place next month," she said.

Semper Fi

I served for 10 years and know that Iran cannot win without the US Media on its side. 24 hour news coverage destoys the capabilities of our forces. Imagine the outcry from tree huggers and other “inside the country” infections on our soil when they see a city go up in flames. The first strike would be covered by all news stations that exist, the “World Is Watchin."

If you did not know, now you know. 1 nuclear sub could send the Northern Hemisphere into the stone ages. So, we must stop playing here. We do not carry a Peacekeeper ICBM for looks. We do not invest in High Tech because we are geeks. We do not have wave a big stick because we are weak.

no way dat america can attack

Israel gonna have to go it alone...

Israel Must Deal With Iranian Threat Alone, Former UN Official Says
January 24, 2008 - Israel will have to decide whether to go it alone in a military operation against Iran’s nuclear program before the end of President Bush’s term, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton said here this week.

]
“For the next year the United States will essentially be a bystander in international affairs on the subject [of Iran:
— quite tragically but almost inevitably," Bolton told the annual gathering of the Herzliya Conference this week. The conference dealt with Israel’s national security. Unclassified portions of a U.S. National Intelligence Estimate released in December said Iran had a nuclear weapons program but halted it in 2003. That NIE has destroyed the diplomatic strategy of the Bush administration, Bolton told Cybercast News Service, because the findings make it “almost impossible for President Bush to contemplate the use of force." The NIE also said that Iran was continuing to enrich uranium and would have enough for a bomb by 2010 at the earliest.

The U.S. has been leading the international campaign against Iran, claiming it is using its civilian nuclear program as a cover to obtain atomic weapons. Since the release of the U.S. National Intelligence Estimate, Israel has gone to great lengths to convince Washington that its assessment is flawed. Pointing to the Iranian ballistic missile program and its continued pursuit of uranium enrichment, Israel says that Iran most definitely is still pursuing nuclear weapons.

“The NIE has given Iran almost a free path toward a decision to create a nuclear weapons capability, and that I think — unfortunately for Israel — heightens the likelihood that they (Israel) will come to a decision point in the very near future about whether to use their own force to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon capability," Bolton said. While the U.S. is not likely take any military action of its own as long as President Bush is in office, Bush would support Israel, Bolton said.

'US will confront Iran if necessary'
29 Jan 2008, WASHINGTON: US President George W Bush has warned Iran that the United States will “confront those who threaten our troops” and defend its allies and interests in the Gulf.

]
Bush, in excerpts of his State of the Union speech provided by the White House, also urged Tehran to suspend its uranium enrichment programme, embrace political reforms, and “cease your support for terror abroad." “But above all, know this: America will confront those who threaten our troops, we will stand by our allies, and we will defend our vital interests in the Persian Gulf," he said.

His message echoed US warnings about an early January face-off between US and Iranian ships in the Strait of Hormuz and came as Washington pushed for new UN sanctions against Tehran over its disputed nuclear programme. “Our message to the people of Iran is clear: We have no quarrel with you, we respect your traditions and your history, and we look forward to the day when you have your freedom," said Bush.

“Our message to the leaders of Iran is also clear: Verifiably suspend your nuclear enrichment, so negotiations can begin. And to rejoin the community of nations, come clean about your nuclear intentions and past actions, stop your oppression at home, and cease your support for terror abroad," he said. Bush was to deliver the speech at 9 pm (local time). The White House said it would be his final State of the Union address before leaving office in January 2009.
