Do you know the US & UK are preparing for an attack on Iran? How will Iran respond?

this question does not come as a surprise to me I told you some time ago that the hooded Crows were massing.You would have to be blind not to see the possibility of Armageddon , or world war three . As an ex army man , I have been expecting something of this sort sooner rather than later . p.w.l.

i don't think even bush is that stupid, there's no way we can win in iran without killing almost all of them.

I really do hope you are wrong, because if you are right the whole middle east will go up in flames.

But I wouldn't put anything past Bush and Blair. They are probably mad enough to try it.

With these two mental cases presiding over the USA and Britain respectively, anything is possible. Iraq is the beginning of their failure. A war with Iran is a war they cannot win. Anyway the war will be interesting.

A war with Iran would be a much easier undertaking than Iraq. A lot of people on this website appear to have the nature of this conflict mixed up. If we fought Iran, they would actually put on uniforms, and fight on a battlefield. They would have brigades and platoons. It would be organised warfare. Which coincidentally, is exactly what the USAF is geared to fight against. The US military is designed to fight large scale wars. It is set up to fight 2 MAJOR WARS simultaneously ( WW2 style). Naval battles, air to air combat, and tank battles would be the nature of that war. And well, Iran quite simply could not compete on that level. Bombs would be raining down upon them relentlessly. THEY COULD NOT STOP IT. America and Britain have the most advanced military technology on the planet. Nothing comes close.

I find it funny that you think some third world country could take us on...in "open war". And if we fight Iran...that's exactly what it will be. It wont be like Iraq where we are trying to get the Iraqi's to stop killing each other. In a war with Iran...we would encourage it!
I'm talking about a "take no prisoners" type of war..

Not a peacekeeping operation in Iraq.

If what you say was true which I do not believe, the Iranians will respond by dieing. Not much else they can do. Hezbollah would run out of funding and that would give the Democratic government in Lebanon a chance to run it's own country. Hamas would be out of money and weapons and FATAH could possibly come to terms with Israel, or a t least the fighting in Palestine would slow. Then the Shiite Militias in Iraq would have no more outside support and would soon be out of weapons also. That would allow Al-Sisitani to gather the support of the militant Shiites as he already has the support of most Shiite in Iraq. That would leave the biggest problem left the Taliban and Al-Qaida. Now I wonder where they get their weapons? Syria? They might just get scared straight without Iran to protect them. Not a bad idea, have you tried telling Bush about this? He has been looking for a good plan to win the war. You may have just found it!

Iran will respond the same way as did the Iraquis, put a million troops into the battle and then sit back and then watch them turn and run.

I'm Sparticus

I hope you are wrong, but with Bush in power any form of madness is possible. I can't personally believe this will happen - not immediately anyway. If it does.....then all Hell will break loose.

SweetDeath!

this is to put pressure on the government to get serious with talks and quit the folling around. Also most Persians are great people and quite tired of this foolish regime.

Unfortunatly I think it is possible that the US could attack Iran using their shiny new Big Blu 30,000 lb bunker buster bomb. Iran have been classed as a rogue state and are ignoring international agenda's to empower themselves and their people. Bush won't like this and American foreign policy will not accept it. Iraq will continue to be a problem, US + UK are fighting a well organised underground operation, it will not matter how many troops are there! Theoretically, if Iran are not stopped and they are allowed to develop nuclear technology AND the delivery system then the region becomes more unstable as Israel and Iran create a stand off (positive) or Iran just launch against Israel (negative). If the US were to invade Iran then Russia most probably won't take it lying down as the oil stakes raise whilst China may see it as a perfect opportunity to sort out the little problem of Taiwan whilst America are bogged down in the middle east. We're already this far down the road, what happens when there really is an oil crisis?

hope u r wrong.

I think you have a point on this one. As for war actually happening on Iran I don't think it will happen. Iran are seriously not to be messed with for what the benefit of defeating them will bring. I think Bush is losing his marbles & got a thirst for war. Like a kid with Action Man toys. Thank God that England will be back with the Conservatives soon who will have different views & agendas & pull us out of this madness. China please wake up & push USA off the map or atleast change them as WW3 does seem more & more closer. Oh old Clinton we want you back, Reegan Thatcher save us!!

All,

You're ruining this forum with your repetitive attacks against Britain and America. Why do we have to keep coming up with the same 3 questions time after time?

I'm not trying to silence you. I just can't see why a few people need to offend different people and drag everyone else in too

The deal is that no one has ever successfully invaded Iran so I think it will be something more like telling the homicidal maniac they call president, he has two days to cease operations in the nuclear facilities. If he doesn't cease operations, the facilities will be removed via surgical air strikes.

I also think that it's time that al-sadr's militia was disarmed and 30,000 Amjerican Troops seem to be about enough to get that job done too.

Hezbollah will be left up to Israel. Do you really believe that Ohlmert has a "slip of the tongue" last week, or was that a warning?

You are so brilliant .
At first , i thought you were kidding , but after i read your detailed elaboration of the whole scenario , it makes perfect sense.Good on you , pal.keep up the good work.

The us,uk,israel and the whole world can attack Iran but they wont be able to beat Iran....See what Hezbollah did to Israel in the last year...The israelis used extremely developed weapons and yet they werent able to destroy Hezbollah.This is Hezbollah against Israel....so what about Iran against israel or US??They have to thnk twice before they attack Iran..

america nd bretain cannot attack iran at this moment......the coalition forces are already strained in afghanistan and iraq...........the respective goverments are under constant pressure to pull back the troops...the caulty figure is rising.......al theses constions coalition cant attack iran.......iran is much more power ful and oraganised state than iraq with an strong army and air force....they will make it very worse.....it will b blunder to attack iran at this time!!!!not for atleast 5 more yrs........

la.bruja0805

So, I guess what you mean is, if we go in there & kick ten bells out of them will they respond in a similar manner? of course they won't, they will send us a thank you card for pointing out the error of their ways!!!! You don't believe me?

rjhamuk

they will kill us all

Let's just drop a nuke on the Middle East and forget about the problem

djp6314

That doesnt seem to supprise me given our current government. Clearly they dont agree with the stance of Iran, or there people so hey let's impose western democracy on these people? I mean come on they cant even get there own back yard in order, look at the mess the UK is in due to these so call leaders?? and they are out there dictaing the world? wheres the democratic prosses over there or is it just a bunch of bully boys, pushing and manipulating for what they think is best? How much of these so called wars are our governments actually instigating and then sending out the propogander to support war? Get them out I say, throw them out of parliment, throw them out of Downing street, and lets get some one in who can actually do the job of running the country?

crusinthru

Wow that was quite a dream you had last night! Did the Irian's have little monkeys that flew around on banannas?

yamahaqi

I dont think it will happen, however to answer your question Iran is quite technologicaly developed than most countries in the region, America cant even fight a militia group properly, i dont know how they will fight a trained army, and the other thing is that most iranians wanted freedom, and democrecy, and they probably wouldent have fought american or british troops, but now that they have seen whats happend to their neighbour IRAQ i think they will fight till the end.

Have you seen them? Where are they? I think you're talking total

You sound to me a paranoid schizophrenic. Can you please, please make sure you are Yahoo in the New Year so I can say 'I told you so'. Please.

And one more thing; your link leads to a story that starts:

Note the word OPINION. Yes things are tense, but there's no need to tart jumping about stating that we're on the brink of nuclear war.

Wow, and how did you become privy to the secret discussions?

Because if you "know" this, I'm sure that the Iranians know it, too, and there goes the element of surprise.

Or are you just full of beans and hot air?

I think it is the latter . . .

Mr. US of A, Baby!

Iran will respond by putting out the fires, glowing in nuclear fall out, burying their dead, whining and wailing in the wind, "How could this happen!?"

I truly hope and pray (to God, & NOT Allah, Winny the Pooh, Sponge Bob Square Pants...) they (Iranians, Hezbollah, the PLO, etc.) are all annihilated forever. That's just my opinion and me exercising my freedom of thought, and speech, but thanks for asking.

Not a chance in hell. Russia and China lean towards Iraq in the UN. They don't want Iran to be attacked. Iran is also the biggest power in the Middle East next to Israel. They are no walkover like Iraq who had outdated technology, a less fanatical population, a smaller army, and less of a land mass. Iran also has support in the Middle East which Iraq didn't have. There are so many terrorists, just waiting for a second front to be opened in the Middle East. Opening a second front from the point of view of the US and Britain would be a military disaster. They can't cope in Iraq at the minute with the 140,000 troops there already. Do you think that the US could invade Iran with only 30,000 troops? Don't make me laugh.

There is, however, cause for invasion. The cause is exactly the same one that led to the invasion of Iraq - Iran has made the first steps towards trading its oil in Euros. This means that oil from Iran is more expensive than before. The US now need to pay 1.3 times more than Europeans countries do for Iranian oil. I would love to see an invasion of Iran just simply to put the final nail in the coffin of Bush and have him enter the history books as the most disastrous President ever in the history of the US: I don't, however, want to see many more thousands of young US/British men and women (and it will be tens of thousands this time round) lose their lives in another oil war.

Let it be and speak to Iran.

Quarterback has it wrong that it would be an easier war. Iran may fight like a regular army in the beginning but if things go wrong then the same thing will happen as is happening in iraq. iraq has shown smaller nations exactly how to fight a major power. Stand down your army and arm small but effective militant and guerilla groups. You always fight to your strengths and not to your enemies strengths. The Iranian military are better equipped than the Iraqis were but even so it will probably end up as anoth Iraq.

The US is not cut out to fight long term wars anywhere in the world. Rumsfeld modified the army in order to reduce personnel and rely more on technology. This means that the US army is best designed for short term conflicts and not long drawn out wars.
