Do you think if US will attack Iran? and if so do you think it'll start world war 3 ?

Answer 1

The US won't attack Iran--but Bush might.

And if he does, yes. That will be the start of a third world war.

Answer 2

Me may. More likely will be fostering an insurgency using US Army Green Beret A-Teams and other Special Forces. There is already a growing movement in Iran and we're going to help it along.

It's similar to the tactic that worked so well in Afghanistan.

World War III? Naw. This is one of the most peaceful periods in the history of the planet and has been for about the past 5 years.

Why would the world go to war over Iran? Especially considering how the US wages war? Look at Germany, Japan, South Korea, and so on...After we fight in a country, the end up becoming some of the richest places on the planet 20 years later.

Answer 3

Bush wants to attack Iran so bad he is frothing at the mouth! He wants Iran's oil!

Not long ago Iran had an elected government until the CIA backed insurgency over threw it and put in pro US Oil the Shaw of Iran! We sure can pick em!

I don't know about WW III but we can't win there without using some tactical nukes! We just don't have the people! And once that happens, bend over and kiss it goodbye! Terrorism will be a tame word for what is going to happen in the US!

Answer 4

I think its more likely than not that we will have a confrontation. However, I think it likely that it is 18 months off, and as much as three years.

We will strike before they have nuclear weapons, but we will wait until the last minute, making every attempt to dissuade them first.

And for those who are calling for withdrawal from Iraq: You'll make it that much easier, by freeing up the necessary military elements.

No, to the WW3 question. Iran isn't valuable enough to anyone else to come to their aid. Syria, maybe. But if Syria entered, so would Israel. And by then, it's a done deal, the mid-east is toast.

Why would anyone of significance come to Iran's aid? The only power able to send a military force any distance is Russia. Why would Russia? We can't occupy Russia, but we'd decimate their traditional forces outside of Russia, and they know it.

That isn't to say there won't be costs. But we could win a war against practically everyone with air power alone if occupation isn't the goal, or a goal.

Air power. And Blue water naval power. We've got it, and practically no one else does.

Answer 5

I think US would not attack Iran if they have some foresight....but sometimes Bush realy ignore such things and go for whatever he 'thinks' is right !
There are many reasons for delaying the attack......First as Iran is a nuclear power and have many nuclear power station but these are not in once place and are distributed through out the country in different places.....some are underground as well ......US would not attack Iran by sending its troops like it did in Iraq...Bush would prefer Air attack because you are already having a big number of troops in Iraq so it would not be possible for US to send more to Iran...And the problem with Air attack is that they can not target all nuclear power centers fully specialy the underground one ! Secondly once US would attack Iran. Iran would be open to do whatever they want as They would be underattack so no one would blame them for that....now what can they do........they can get their force enter Iraq , their Neighbour and can give a tough time to American army there......so US might Lose Iraq or would get more problems in handeling Iraq becuase Iraqis are already with iran ....that would be an additional problem.......Then Iran can cease its oil supply to the world.......Disturbing all the world economy and then world would again accuse US for this........Iran can occupy Gulf and thus blocking all the water communication with the world.........third big set back.........US is aware of this..iran is not like Iraq ...an easy victim that could be handled just by the way....iran is much stonger in that regards and US can not take that risk...it is obvious that US attack on Iran would be a complete failure ......and American chief of army staff General Pterson is aware of this fact .and he would not let this happen and would prefer resignig.and once he resign the post, many of the other army officials would follow him because they can not take that blame on them..so again a problem with US governament ....US would get much unstable .

So these are few set backs that US can suffer once it attack Iran, and if Bush is clever enough he would not attack iran without very high preparation

And No it won't start a world war 3, becuase muslim countries themselves are not united and can not take risk of going agaisnt US, russia is not that stronger and China itself would not go into it ......so i don't think it would start world war.....

Answer 6

USA (we) have said time and again that we will not attack Iran. We have also said that Iranians have crossed into Iraq to cause problems; Iran rejects this idea. I don't think we will attack Iran, there are too many good reasons why we should not or would not do that. Plus Iran owes Russia a lot of money, so if anyone attacks Iran it may be Russia.

Answer 7

No.

The US had a legal right to invade Iraq (broke the conditions of the armistice for 12 years!) , but Bush can't touch Iran overtly unless it blows up Tel Aviv or swarms Iraq.

Iran will wait 'til the Democrats control the Executive Branch, after 2008.

And incidently, World War 3 was called the "Cold War." And, just like WWI and WWII, the residual problems still remain...

Answer 8

We have been in World War III for 29 years. Ted Koppel will attest to that. He began his career focusing on terrorism when Iran took American hostages.

Putin's Russia wants to return his country to cold war times. He is supplying Iran with nukes. Iran is not run by a stable government, like North Korea. They cannot have nukes.

Answer 9

Uh no. first of all, Iran and North Korea dont even have the missile technologies to launch a nuclear warhead that reaches the U.S. 2d, there is in basic terms one international protection stress superpower. and that's the U.S. protection stress. The U.S. spends extra on its protection stress than the subsequent suitable 25 countries blended. And of those 25 countries, 23 are our close allies. 0.33, as shown by the chilly conflict and the Pakistan vs India conflicts, nukes make entire Wars (which comprise WW1 and WW2) impossible. protection stress superpowers can not work together one yet another at as quickly as because of the fact any protection stress conflict will directly boost to the use of their nuclear arsenals. And nuclear weapons are so devastating that the two factors as we communicate lose. no person is keen to hazard the tip of human civilization and centuries of nuclear fallout poisoning. If protection stress super-powers prefer to attack one yet another, they subtly attack the economic device of the different or they use a smaller united states of america as a protection stress proxy. protection stress conflicts are undesirable for companies. And in the international economic device, maximum countries are actually not keen to circulate into wars with different countries and hazard destabilizing the international industry.

Answer 10

I THINK Iran will eventually back down, if not then yes there will be an attack on them. And no, it will not amount to a world war.. because nobody will come to Iran's defense.

Answer 11

An attack on Iran will not start a World War because it is only an isolated conflict in the Middle East just like what happened in Iraq.
