What will be the fate of Iran afther the war, if it happens at all ?

Question

If Usa and her allys attack Iran they are bound to be victorious in direct military conflicts. They will occupy the country as they did Afghanistan and Iraq. But that country has 3 times more population than Iraq wich means 3 times bigger and harder insurgency than the current one in Iraq. They also have pretty modern weapons wich will make the rebels all the more deadlier . The worst thing that colud happen is that Afghani , Iranian and Iraqi rebels start cooperating and they will. Imagine , international 3-state uprising, that is impossible to contain. Altoguh China and Russia have big interests in Iran (energy and oil) they woludn't go to war with USA for it ?

Answer 1

Not sure only time will tell.

Answer 2

I think Russia would help out honestly. I don't know about China though. I think a conflict with Iran would somewhat unify us with our allies a little bit more, due to the fact that there is a higher possibility of gaining more help from other countries, but you are right, the conflict would be much longer and much deadlier. With their actions they have just committed, it might be inevitable.

Answer 3

The Allied Powers should turn the entire country into a sand dune. That would pretty much take care of the problem with another occupation, wouldn't it?

Answer 4

I strongly suspect that it would entail massive air strikes and Iran's military capabilities would be neutralized rather quickly. I doubt we would commit ground troops into this hornets nest until the country was absolutely devastated.
We have two battle group carriers presently off their coast - and it's not for show.

Answer 5

well iran is giving the insurgents weapons already in iraq i say we turn that whole regin 10,000 degrees in 1 second

Answer 6

hate to break it to you but iran has a far superior army that iraq and afganistan has so it wont be that easy.
