even if America had the military capacity to attack iran it would be rendered useless because of all the influence and support irans got from all over the world not to mention all this gathered from americas bad image from iraq and afghanistan and the tension between Washington and tehran has given iran the influence and backing equivalent to USSR
now let america attack iran and bring in isreal and we have a game of russian roulette
now dont go on with we'll destroy them with the bombs and the military remember one time when they imposed an oil embargo 1971 on America and its allies they really showed a part of their power they rendered a majority of your economy useless and brought u down to ur knees proving to them they had got ur one great weakness and the source of ur power and influnece in their grasp and when ever they liked they could bring u down back to the same position again
now u be the judge would u like 1971 to repeat or would u prefer to stay where u are right now?

u could have a lot of arabs states turn against u then compared to now
there is also a risk of getting in china and russia to intervene and possibly india depending on the ruling govt party

Mrs_Endl… iran and russia have got a much bigger arsenal than America because for iran they copy captured american tech while russia on the other hand is the biggest armes supplier to majority of asia and middleeast
some of it might not be as good of quality compared to america but they certainly have a huge arsenal of wide ranging weapons

on the contrary iran isnt goin to use nukes if it got one & if they used it.
what i just said would happen to america for attacking iran would happen to iran instead the nuke is just a propaganda weapon
i would support iran nuke enrichment but i wouldnt support them attack israel with nukes not becuase they are jews but because its wrong to kill innocent civilians just like in Hiroshima and nagasaki or other terrorist attcks and wars like vietnam

cuddles
how very naive of u to underestimate the position of the middle east and overestimate the position of america
sure america is the only sole superpower today but u see it is like a very big shop and we are the customers and suppliers let us the other countries stop buying and supplying to the big shop (america) and believe me i have you down to ur knees the next day
perhaps u didnt hear of a small glitch in the chinese stock exchange creating a tsunami in the american stock exchange.
u see what goes up must come down and this happens to everyone including america as we see today and the USSR in 1991

Listen, attacking Iran is suicide... but not because of Israel... because of China and Russia. They both have close ties to Iran related to oil. Both of them, having UN veto power, have held up sanctions against Iran.
What is working for Iran is that it has no history whatsoever of being the aggressor during a military conflict. So, that is making us look like the bully.

Iran didn't cause the oil embargo in 1971. Shah Reza Palavi was ruling iran at that time, and he was an american educated puppet installed by the CIA in 1957.
Iran has no nukes, there is no evidence that they're trying to develop nukes, and shiites are a peaceful people.

Iran is like the mouse that roars. The US could and should bomb them back into the stone age if they do not give up the nuke stuff by the first of July. Tehran Iran could be the fireworks display for he USAF. Your blabbering about other countries aiding Iran assumes that Iran can pay but if their oil is knocked out they will have no friends. Unlike 1971 we have a president that is not afraid to kick butt.

The attack on Iran by the US might incite Russia to join the war because it is a major supporter for its arms and nuclear development.

Iran and Russia....do not have the arsenal, that we the U.S. and Israel have. Remember Japan.....was not pretty....we can do that again if forced to do so......we actually have the capability of completely wiping you Iran off the face of the earth. And what about Tehran.....is that suppose to frighten us in some way.....PFFT!

Trying to control with fear is barbaric. The Iranian nuclear program is not even a concern, as soon as it gets to the point of being a threat to Israel they will destroy Iran's nuclear capabilities and that will be the end of it.

True, it would be risky.
But not enough of a risk that it would be fatal to the US.
At most, a large percentage of the Middle East and a few US cities would get nuked. We would survive that, so its not fatal.
Note that I'm not saying it would be a good idea.
