How long would it take a nuclear Iran to sweep across Iraq and down into the Arabian peninsula?

Question

Would they want to control the oil from the entire region?...or are we the only country who sees how important that is?

Dearest Neddie,
Do you honestly not see how Iran's controlling all the oil from the region can benefit them?

Answer 1

Contrary to our media, we are not the only country that is concerned about Iran and it's nuclear weapon capability. I can tell you that the other middle east countries are not at all happy about it. Then Europe is 2nd right behind the rest of the middle east.

Answer 2

Ugh not every country is as hawkish as the USA. The only country that will sweep across Iraq is USA and look what happened there. Why would Iranians attempt to conquer the Arabian peninsula? Assuming that they have gone insane and launched an sneak attack, this is how the whole deal will go down:

1. Iran sends 800,000 men into Iraq. Met with 140,000 US troops and much more Iraqi troops.
2. USN 6th Fleet responds by launching 24hr bombing runs against all Iranian facilities.
3. Israeli and Turkish military helps US troops annihilate Iranian forces in Iraq.
4. Russia and China launches overnight massive invasion of Iran, the race is on to split the juicy pie.
5. Iran is carved into 2 military jurisdictions, one ruled by US, one ruled by Russia-China.

That's about close to what would happen if Iran went completely insane beyond all recognition.

Answer 3

I always thought the Iranians would try sweeping across Iraq westward towards Israel (and incidentally the Palestinian Nation, Jordan and Lebanon)...virtually all the crazy threats we are hearing from their fracking-ugly monkey President Ahmedjinad says that much...

If the Iranians have utterly lost their minds and tried anything that grand and deadly I seriously doubt the Arabs will welcome them with open arms...nor would the Europeans just sit there as usual anymore. The Russians and Chinese...I do not know about them though. They seem to always be supportive of Iran (and North Korea)...so I wouldnt trust them as far as I can nuke them...

Either way any attempt by the Iranians to take any land would most likely be a long and bloody struggle...they arent as powerful as many people would like to believe.

To cantcu... then why are the Iranians so secretive about their nuclear "power" program? The technology is no secret this is true especially to the International Atomic Energy Commission and the Nuclear powers...so why hide anything? Overprotective secrecy of otherwise peaceful program + long-range ballistic missiles (in case you do not know Iran does have these) + threats against Israel = ???????? try to fill in this one if you can.

Answer 4

Iran has diverse "nuclear" centers. even as there is not any longer an excellent quantity of evidence at this aspect, one might want to seem at Iran's status contained in the international. The are a terrorist regime. They help terrorism in scuffling with US troops in Iraq, they continuously call for the elimination of Israel. in addition they play video games with the United countries. those are not from now on evidence of nuclear guns, yet basically rationalization why they might want to no longer be allowed to get carry of them.

Answer 5

We caused it oh bright one! If Saddam was in power they would never try, but then Russia and France would be getting their oil!

Iran has no nuclear weapons and has a perfect right under the NPT to develop nuclear power! That requires enriching uranium! And as far as the NPT, currently we are in violation of it!

Just because Bush cries wolf constantly doesn't make it so! He has NO proof, as usual!!!! Remember all those Nukes and gas Iraq had??

Answer 6

Iran has twice the population, but is not government friendly. Iran has a negative population rate in both births and migrations. The surrender rate might be overwelming with an Iraqi Army of 134,000.
