Does the US stand a chance against Iran's nuclear weapons?

Iran is a formidable military power, second only to Israel in the Middle East. This is the judgment of most Western observers.


Unfortunately, I dont think too many countries would come to our aid this time based on the lies told by Bush...

First, we were told NO ONE could win in Afghanistan. (took what three weeks?)
Then it was the Republican Guard would destroy our forces (another three weeks?)
Iran? Us from the air with bases on their borders? (days)

We only accept "help" from other nations as a token gesture to keep up an image, the real work is being done (and done well) solely by Americans.

are you kidding!?

If we got into a nuke fight Iran would be assdust in 5 minutes.

Iran has NO Navy to speak of, NO Air Force to speak of and an illiterate ground force. Are you calling the waves of unarmed teenagers they sent charging the Iraqi Army "formidable"? Catamarans with .50 cal machines guns a Navy? A couple of diesel subs scary to a nuke force?

Like N. Korea they "speak loudly because they have NO stick"

Iran is a second-rate military power that can't even protect its own trash heap of a country and doesn't compare to Israeli military might. Bear in mind that Israel has the best air force in the world and the best intelligence service. Your question is moot. Iran's nuclear capabilities are dubious. Should it use a nuclear bomb against America or Israel, Iran would be wiped off the map and become a desert nation.

You're joking right? They have no nuclear weapons (yet) and no ballistic missles to deliver them.
We have 2,300+ nuclear warheads with a variety of ways to deliver them on target.

I'd be more worried what Israel will do to Iran if they tried to mess with us. Israel doesnt really care what there people think so they will bombs away Iran.

GO ISRAEL!!!!!


raisingtheblinds
Sorry, but Iran would get smashed. Iran has no way to deliver their nuclear weapons to the Continental US.

You're right though, not many nations would come to our aid.


vanusal
The only country with nuclear weapons in the region is Israel


Harry
The bigger concern is that Iran would give nuclear materials to terrorists to make a dirty bomb.


=Death=From=Above=
Iran doesnt have nuclear weapons yet. And yes, plenty of countries would assist in the disarming of Iran.

Bush has not told you any lies; he tells you what his advisors tell him. Everything President Bush tells America about Iraq is based on Intelligence gathered. Warfare and Intelligence is not an exact science. It never will be.


lilithdemonqueen
Lets put it this way...If (and that is a big IF) Iran where to have the ability to attack the US with nuclear weapon. And if they were dumb enough to claim responsibility for it...

There would definitely be a long list of nations willing to put the smack down on Iran...not because they like the USA but because Iran in shooting first would create a situation that would destabilize the balance of power.

Read the news from Iran...even the Iranians are starting to criticize Amadinajad for his provocative speeches.

wow are you serious... you do know that we have to capability to use that stuff to and we have done it before.. im not to worried about iran to tell you the truth.. and another thing in case you dont know anything about politics or being a leader.. none of the things bush said were made up by him all the info that he has is given by advisors and all kinds of people in his "circle" so you make yourself sound like a dumbass when you say that bush told lies.. blame our whole government and the fbi and cia and military advisors.. people always want to pick a scapegoat and its sad

We are the most powerful army in the world hands down we really are. Not only for our Armed Service and weapons but our biggest weapon of all out intelligence services that are implanted all over the world including Iran.


anoldmick
Since Iran's nuclear weapons only exist on paper, I don't think we have too much to worry about.


James G
MAD (mutually assured destruction) will probobly stop Iran from attacking the USA as the USA are bound to retalliate. Also many countries would help America as they would feel threatened by iran themselves and so would help America fight against them. America have also shown recently that they have the capability to shoot things out of space, all of this will be a huge deterent for any country to attack them

Worst case scenario...1 nuke by 2009 (based on NIE)

Most probable...10 nukes by 2015...

US...>2000 warheads...we have enough nuclear power to destroy any country in the world at least 5 times over...

We spend >$500B in defense per year

China spends about $100B per year.

Um, so no, I wouldn't worry
