Do you think a military strike against Iran is imminent? is it a beginning of a WW III?

Question

the US has 2 large naval mission forces in the Persian Gulf, talks are going on between the Americans, many Arab Countries and Israel on the issue of Iranian nuclear program.
all the signs indicate that the attempts to talk it over with the Iranians have achieved nothing.
It looks as if, behind curtains, a military strike against Iranian targets is being prepared.
are those signs real? what would be the international implications of a strike against Iranian targets? How would the Muslim terrorists respond? what would be the response of Russia and China?

Answer 1

I don't know if US or Israel is going to attack Iran...I think it's wrong to ask them to give up something they have every right to:because by signing the NNPT they have every right to nuclear energy...
A military strike against Iran would be the start of WW3...Many Arab countries will support Iran...Russia and China won't just sit back and watch how they money are being blown away by US and will help Iran...Attacking Iran will involve so many countries and it will definitely turn into an international conflict...

Answer 2

What a broad range of questions.

The United States isn't going to attack Iran soon. It's a couple of years off.

Russia and China will do nothing of consequence, except maybe complain loudly. What could they do?

Iran will be leveled, sent back to the stone age.

There will be no surviving nuclear program.

Who else could hate us more than they already do right now?

By the time it happens, it will look like the only remaining option, and governments (though not citizens) will know it. And so they will bi,,tch to appease their own people, but that's all they will do. As they did with Iraq. The world needs the U.S. economy more than we need them, and they will risk nothing in opposition.

Always keep in mind that there are two entities in any country: The people, and the government. The people and the governments may protest, but secretly, most governments will be glad to eliminate the nuclear threat to Europe.

Bush won't be the President when it happens. And after tens of thousands of losses in Vietnam, Republicans had control of the White House back 7 years after the withdrawal. Some people over exagerate possible internal reprocussions, me thinks.

Only 3000 soldiers have died in the Iraqi conflict, only 2500 of those combat deaths. Iraq hardly qualifies as a large war for America to be "sick of" in any league with Vietnam, Korea, or either WW, The Civil War, War of 1812, The Mexican War, or even The Spanish-American war.

This generation of American's needs to get over itself, and read some history. Iraq is a blip, by comparisson to every other American conflict, ever, excluding Grenada, GW1, and Panama.

Iran would be a little bigger (longer, with less troops available)battle than Iraq was in GW2, but no harder a battle than Iraq was in GW1.

How tough was Iraq in GW1? Iran and Iraq fought an 8 year war to a stalemate, ending only 4 years before GW1. In other words, we defeated Irans last enemy, one Iran fought to a stalemate in 8 years, we kicked there tusshies in about 14 days. Iran is no match for us.

People, Iran will be a pushover against our military, strained or not. The hard part is keeping, or occupying, a country. America can "beat" and "win" any traditional "war", absolutely, hands down, Iran. But certainly Iraq has been expensive.

Answer 3

Not imminent, not close yet. We need to see if they fold at the treat of intimidation. I think the government of Iran will make concessions and compromise. The US has made all the concessions so far and they are no match for our power. If they were smart they would make nice and at least get the parts to get the war machines they have now working. We could devastate the infrastructure so fast it is not funny. The whole thing is Bush is just crazy enough to make them say uncle. It would be a very bad idea to actually invade because the world and the US public has lost faith. The World is loosing interest in the imperialistic ways we are exhibiting.

Answer 4

America will not strike Iran on its own. We do not have the troops or the money for another conflict. Furthermore, the American people would not stand for it. Bush is a lame duck president, however, he can still call for war. He won't though because he knows that if this occurs the Republican party is doomed for the next 50 years. Americans are sick and tired of war and losing young American lives. For what? So the Sunnis and Shiites can unload on one another? They don't need America in the middle of this civil war. They have been fighting it for centuries without us.

Answer 5

I think the United States would be making a grave mistake if it were to attack Iran as the response would be devastating to the U.S.A. in terms of China and Russia seeings how Iran is receiving weapons from both and have close ties to both.

Answer 6

The World Wars were called that because they were wars between several superpowers who were able to do severe damage to each other. Iran has neither the military power or the support to fight a war with the US.

Answer 7

if george bush is as mentally challenged as he was while going for the iraq invasion there iran will be invaded. but this does not augur well for the US. george bush could follow lincoln and kennedy as assasinated presidents but not as honorably as they died. it is better for the whole world that bush does not do it. as for the islamic terrorists it is going to be a field day. rest assured US will be destroyed if not by the al-qaeda by some other shia group.

Answer 8

only time would tell
