what will happen with Iran? north korea? is WWIII around the corner?

Answer 1

Iran - on August 22 Ali Larijani, hand delivered Iran's 21 page response to UNSC 1696 the package of incentives to dissuage Iran from uranium enrichment. Iran's top nuclear negotiator said that Tehran was ready to enter "serious negotiations" over its disputed nuclear program but did not say whether it was willing to suspend uranium enrichment — the West's key demand. This was because the West had offered many economic incentives.

On August 31 sanctions may be set against Iran if it continues to enrich uranium. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khameini avers that Iran has a right to have nuclear weapons. Leaders of the Iranian hard-line regime, believe they have a direct line to God, and they'll do whatever 'divine inspiration' requires them to do. Talking to them is pointless.

On August 19, Iran launched a large-scale area, sea and ground exercise he maneuver, the Blow of Zolfaghar (the sword used by Imam Ali), which involved 12 divisions, army Chinook helicopters, unmanned planes, parachutists, electronic war units and special forces. Iran's state-run television reported that the new anti-aircraft system was tested "to make Iranian air space unsafe for our enemies."

On Sunday, August 20, in the Kashan desert about 250 kilometers southeast of the capital of Tehran, Iran tested the Saegheh missile which has a range of between 80 to 250 kilometers. Saegheh means lightning in Farsi. (The language of Iran is not Arabic and Iranians are not Arabs.)
Iran's arsenal also contains the Shahab-3 missile, which means "shooting star" in Farsi, and is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. It has a range of more than 2,000 kilometers and can reach Israel and US forces in the Middle East.

Iran's military test-fired a series of missiles during large-scale war games in the Persian Gulf in March and April, including a missile it claimed was not detectable by radar that can use multiple warheads to hit several targets simultaneously.

The Iranian news service Al-Borz, predicted that on the first anniversary of Iranian President Ahmadinejad's government, in late August 2006, Ahmadinejad is expected to announce what the news service called Iran's "nuclear birth."

In addition, an August 23, 2006 article about Iran's reply to the incentives proposal, that was posted on the Iranian Foreign Ministry-affiliated website , implied that Iran's nuclear technology had already reached the point of no return: "...

The following are excerpts from the Al-Borz report:

"It is expected that the first anniversary of the forming of the ninth government will be the date of the Ahmadinejad government's 'nuclear birth.'

"... Together with [the celebration of] the anniversary of the forming of the ninth cabinet, the president of the country [Mahmoud Ahmadinejad] will hold his third press conference... where he will answer questions from journalists from Iran and from abroad.

"In addition to detailing the activities of the government at the end of [its first] year, the head of the government [i.e. Ahmadinejad] will officially present Iran's positions on: economic and cultural matters, the nuclear dossier, the activities of nuclear research centers, and developments in the region."

North Korea - Last November six-country talks aimed at ending North Korea's nuclear weapons program were deadlocked.

Last week, Japan's top nuclear envoy Kenichiro Sasae talked with South Korea's nuclear negotiator Chun Yung-woo regarding North Korea's nuclear program.

On August 21, George Bush spoke with Chinese Presiden Hu Jintao by phone regarding the six party talks as an important part of our strategy of dealing with Kim Jong Il.

On August 24, Song Min-soon, South Korea's chief presidential secretary on national security, will visit China for two days and meet with Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing to discuss the North Korean nuclear and missile programs.

North Korea's President, Kim Jong-il, is to take a three-day trip to China around August 30. Kim's visit will be primarily to discuss with Chinese President Hu Jintao the possibility of a nuclear test.

On July 5, North Korea defied international warnings and test-fired seven missiles including a long-range Taepodong-2 missile which still has guidance problems.

Is WWIII around the corner? Maybe. We all pray that it is not.

Answer 2

The US will give Iran some nuclear weapons (dropped out of a B2). North Korea will continue to starve to death and will eventually have a catastrophic nuclear accident. There will always be wars. If there is another big one (like is going to happen in the Middle East) we can probably call it WWIII. The USA will ultimately end up ruling the majority of the world by the turn of the next century. Our culture is too pervasive and our military power makes us invincible. We aren't going away.

Answer 3

It is very possible. This is the short version, Iran is a concern as is North Korea. However, China is what we should be looking at. If a war breaks out, China will likely come to the aid of Iran as will Venezuela. While not a military power, Venezuela basically owns Citgo oil company. Cut off the supply and the American economy and military takes a huge hit. China is the number one enemy of the U.S. according to some CIA experts and Iran is next. The two countries will likely join forces against the U.S. (as will others) if a major war breaks out. If this happens, the U.S. and it's allies can not lose or our life as we know it will change forever. Hopefully, it will not come to a major war.

Answer 4

Neither, North Korea is broke, it fairly is inhabitants is slowly ravenous to death and china has a vested interest in conserving a leash on the precious chief. Iran would have pursuits with regard to nuclear weapons besides the shown fact that it additionally has an American military parked on it fairly is southern border, it has Israel observing them like a hawk and as quickly as curiously like they're getting close, the air raids will start up. while you're worried approximately everyone, then the resurgence of Russian nationalism is greater concerning to.

Answer 5

If one believes prophesy, Iran will form an alliance with Ethiopia
and Libya, and cause some serious stuff.
Korea is supposed to burn it's own people with "fire". North
Korea nuke South Korea? That would be the only way the
North could act bad without getting nuked by the World.

Answer 6

Personally this is a question that is on alot of peoples minds, I do have a feeling that WWIII is around the corner, as sad as it is, and if you look at the death toll of our troops over in Middle East we are beginning to rack them up there with the battles of WWI and WWII.

Answer 7

What do you mean, "around the corner"? Better get with the times, dude.

Lock 'n' load.


(Oh please...the casualty rate over there is nothing in comparison to either World Wars. Get real.)

Answer 8

Nothing!
World War III is already here. It is a piecemeal war. I think perhaps Syria is next.
