Will the US or Israel attack Iran?

What if Israel attacks Iran first?

J2 has been telling you that things come in cycles.

Middle East is full of oil and a good friend of China the upcoming superpower.

Now is a good time to steal all that oil away from China.

Considering the history China has with the West in about 50 years when they overpower pretty much the whole of the West alone they won't be so friendly me thinks.

Good time to grab resources, thats your war on terror.

Was any of that intended to be taken seriously?

According to Whitehouse intelligence the SCO is China's attempt at a mad
resource grab and anti-American venture in the long term, look it up.

Fixed.

Whole divisions of the Iranian army have been "mobilized" thus.

I see nobody answered my question.

Ah, well...

Ah, well...

I agreed it was a possibility but that there is more posturing to be done first.

Oh, sorry.

Forgot about the posturing...I'd be a lousy diplomat.

Your country has been building naval forces in the area. Every military centre, Uranium enrichment centres you can be sure is targeted and certain civilian infrastructure too, will be "taken out" in the Father of all Nights.
Iran has just "preempted", or rather catalysed the situation by attacking the UK, in taking those marines captive... It's difficult to say who will blink first. Mr. Blair might just seize this situation, to regain some of his lost "esteem. One thing is certain, it will be over soon.

* Israel will only get involved if Iran does an "Iraq" on it and starts firing Scuds or worse to save it's face, IMO ..

Perhaps time to tidy the study.

I actually heard South Africa and Indonesia got an agreement with Iran that they wouldnt possess any nuclear fuel period if the entire middle east was denuclearized.

When they bought it to the UN though the Americans shot it down.

Surely it'd be suicide for Iran to attack Israel? Israel would thrash them given their armed forces are much better equipped and they're bound to be back by the US (whilst Europe sits on the fence condemning the Israeli offensive but not acting as usual).

I'd hope the UK would look to a diplomatic solution before declaring anything (the shoot first ask questions later is America's solution not Europe's ).

Israel would smash Iran

Israel have more nuclear weapons than UK, so Israel can handle any arab pressure, regardless of any UK help. Israel have defended themselves before, and proved worthy opponents (obviously, without US funding & aid, they are nothing). Israel have already been using depleted uranium in lebanon, so I wouldnt put it past them to use more depleted uranium.

Whether Iran should have weapons is another story. I think nobody should have nuclear weapons, but when countries close to Iran have nuclear weapons, its only natural that Iran would want them too..
Typical double standards.
I say if we are gonna get rid of the nuclear weapons from the middle east, then we should do so, by starting with Israel itself leading the way.

Israel really needs nuclear weapons.

I mean think about it right now Israel is untouchable thanks to the US but in a few years China will be the superpower the US kneels before.

Then Iran will be in the position Israel is in now with the most powerful ally on the planet.

Iran will obviously obtain nuclear weapons then and theyll be pushing Israel around returning the favor.

It's hard to predict what the worlds going to come to.

America is under huge debt and China is making more money than they can handle, the Chinese President Hu Jintao put a governing body together to work out a way to bring LESS money into China!

Russia is an upcoming giant too with huge energy resources and India is a rising giant too.

Few decades the world wont be the same place it is now which means the tables will turn.
