US may not go for a full war, but, might be looking for some 'controlled action' over Iranian nuclear installments.

They will not attack Iran for the following reasons
Iran has a larger army than Iraq did.
The Iranian army is better trained, better equipped and more fanatical than Iraq's army was.
Iran has support from China and Russia.
Iran would immediately cut off all oil supplies to the US.
The US simply doesn't have the troops to fight three wars at once (Iraq, Afgahnastan and Iran).
The US are already losing in the two wars they are fighting and there seems no way out and to put themselves into a 3rd theatre of war with the same result would be political and economic suicide.

Believe it or not - the consequence would be that
A - Iran would lose its nuclear programme and have to start afresh (or persuade one of the 8 other nuclear nations to sell it some - that way Iran will never be attacked again),
and B - the US would continue on its path of setting up puppet govts and empowering the faction they like in lots of countries, thus antagonising the world & especially the Muslim world yet further - maybe one day there would be a new revolution or a democratic shift, or a final triumph - when the US republican party and its twin sisters rule every country in the world.
and C - nobody would come to the aid of Iran (the US can bomb anybody - you don't want to fight / disagree with them) - but in return the US will experience suicide attacks & remote detonation civilian bombings in the US, not carried out by al-qaeda but by various other groups & individuals

I don't think the US will attack Iran. Ahmedinejhad is losing support over there, perhaps if he gets replaced by better leadership a peaceful solution can be found (after W gets out of office). A war with Iran would be pretty ugly, and could very well start WW3.

There are fearfully useful arguments adversarial to using the military option. yet sped up mutually, squared, and then cubed, the load of those arguments does no longer come close to to matching the case for us to end, through even if ability would properly be mandatory, Iran from growing a nuclear ability. If Iran receives thoroughly and unmolested to nuclear status, it will be a threshold second interior the heritage of the international, up there with the Bolshevik Revolution and the introduction of Hitler. And the fashion of society we stay in and cherish interior the West will replace previous acceptance. We recoil now at intrusive authorities measures to tap our phones or different intrusions into our civil liberties. imagine how a lot more suitable our freedoms will be curtailed if our governments worry we are only one telephone call or digital mail, one airplane experience or truckload, one lead-lined shipment deliver remote from yet another Hiroshima.

If America goes into a limited war against Iran, it would still give dire consequences. Iran has many allies in the Shiite factions in Iraq and they can use them to basically "injure" the American forces to a point that America will not even control their Green Zone in Baghdad. But if America goes into War against Iran, then we America will plunge into her dark age and slowly her enemies will destroy her just like the Roman Empire.

no i don't think it will lead to another world war . most countries in the middle east don't want Iran to have these nuke any way but will never say it officially . they believe that if Iran get these bombs they will have to start their own nuclear program to protect them from Iran controlling the whole region so i think the usa will just bomb their nuke sites .

The answer to that depends on the actions of Iran. But NO, I don't think the USA will do that unless Iran gives an appropriate provocation for it.

I doubt they've got the money or the troops to attack Iran at the moment but they'll try to keep the pressure on and won't rule it out if things get worse.
