"Iran is involved in supplying explosively formed projectiles or EFPs and other material to Iraqi extremist groups," a senior official in the multinational coalition told journalists Sunday on condition of anonymity.


The above is a news cut out -

I am just curious with all the small signs in the media how many people realise war with Iran is coming soon - Not if but when .

Other than an increase in terrorisim throughout the world what will be the after math of this war - Oil p[rrices will sky rocket unless the Allied forces can capture the flow source(s) outbound in the first couple of days or hopefully hours.

Russia may play a part in this so may China and N Korea or the invasion of Iran might come with the you can be next warning.

Nukes? Conventional

Another news clip and paste

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S.-led forces in Iraq presented on Sunday what officials said was "a growing body" of evidence of Iranian weapons being used to kill their soldiers, as U.S. anger at Tehran's alleged involvement in the war rises.


A senior defense official from the U.S.-led Multinational Force in Baghdad told a briefing that 170 coalition forces had been killed by Iranian-made roadside bombs known as explosively formed penetrators (EFPs) that he said were smuggled into Iraq.

Iran has until February 21 to halt uranium enrichment, a process that can make fuel for power stations or, if greatly enriched, material for warheads. A UN sanctions resolution passed in December threatened further measures if Iran refuses.


"We are ready for talks but will not suspend our activities," Ahmadinejad told hundreds of thousands of Iranians in Tehran's Azadi (Freedom) square to mark the 1979 Islamic revolution, saying suspension would be "humiliation."


Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, Ali Larijani, met European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana in Germany on Sunday to discuss the row. Solana said after the meeting no deal had been reached but possible solutions were being explored.


The United States, which has stepped up pressure on Iran by sending a second aircraft carrier to the Gulf, has been adamant it would not accept anything short of full suspension.

Answer 1

This is scary! The politicians keep putting 'foot in mouth' and the media 'fuel the flames'. Looks like WW3 is on its way.

Answer 2

I can see what these incidents will lead to.

But why cry foul, instead of accepting what it is?. The U.S. did the same thing in the past, and everybody knows this. The U.S. supplied weapons to Saddam during the Iran-Iraq War. The U.S. sold huge quantities of weapons to Iran during the Iran-Contra deal. The U.S. supplied weapons to Afghan mujahedeens during the Soviet-Afghan War (including Stinger missiles that shot down Soviet helicopters).

So, what's the big deal if Iran supplies weapons to the insurgents?.

Answer 3

I agree but to use Iranian made weapons as an excuse is lame as on that basis you could attack Germany and Japan again saying that their home made weapons killed countless American and British troops in WW2 or russian made weapons killed Americans in Vietnam,but whatever the excuse it looks like Iran is going to get it and so probably will we.

Answer 4

War is Sell (sic)
