There are rumors (probably somewhat unfounded) that there is a looming airstrike on Iran -- targeted at the nuclear reactors, naval warships, Republican Guard headquarters, etc.
While I highly doubt that anything is immediate, the US certainly has a plan drawn up somewhere that is likely similar in scope to the one I defined.
The question once again: the strike would certainly hurt Iran's military, and would set the nuclear program back ~7 years. What would be the impact on the current Iraq situation (given that Iran is mostly Shi'ite), the effect on radical Islam, and any boost in standing with our Sunni allies (Saudi Arabia and Egypt)?
