Iran is not going to be able to develop nuclear weapons and a lot of nations, not just the U.S. would stand to oppose it with military force if need be.\n\nThe funny thing is, like most middle east oil producers, Iran has less than 13 months of capital to support its economy. A real embargo, a true cessation of all oil exports would so cripple the nation I doubt its government would last 90 days.\n\nSadly the east and west are so dependent on petroleum that solution is not likely to happen.

Don't think for one second that we are not considering it. Anyone who thinks we is just plain naive. The problem is that if Iran acquires Nuclear capabilities the fear is that they will use it against us. It is not so much the threat of an outright attack from Iran as it is them giving some terrorist group a bomb to smuggle into Washington. The difficulty is, that shortly after 9/11 took place Iran signed a military agreement with Russia. If we attack Iran then by agreement Russia would defend them. That is just as DANGEROUS as the first possibility. The proverbial fit is about the hit the shan. We have worked hard over the post WWII decade to avoid nuclear devastation. It looks like now the lid is about to pop off either way we go.

A worst case scenario would unroll if the US were to launch a major air strike against Iranian nuclear facilities in the next few months.  A limited air strike against a "choke point", such as the Iranian uranium conversion facility at Isfahan, would like disrupt Iran's nuclear program for a long time.  The problem is what happens then?\n\nIran will respon in some way, all of which are devastatint to regional and international security.  They could lob scuds at Israel and US bases in the region.\n\nThe could block the Strait of Hormuz, cutting off the oil pipeline.\n\nThey could stop selling oil.\n\nThey could use their connections with Hezbullah to launch terrorist strikes against US interest.\n\nThey could do all or any of the above in combination. The only feasible targeting of a US nuclear attack would be the hardened facility at Natanz, under 75 ft of hard rock.  The other nuclear facilities are soft targets and can be taken out by conventional weapons.\n\nWhatever course the US takes, be prepared for the UNIMAGINABLE>

Another war - If the U.S. attachs Iran, it's likely China and Russia will side with Iran.  That could get us nuked.

This is a country that has been openly preaching hate and advocating obliteration of its enemies for nearly thirty years. I HOPE the U.S. attacks Iran rather than allowing it to become a nuclear power. I'm afraid that if it does, it will have to carry the burden by itself, because the rest of the world has shown itself unenthusiastic for unrewarding but necessary hardships.

NO.They will take action against them through the UNO.I believe there will be no direct attack on Iran like the attack on Iraq.

soon, it definitely depends on Iran - if Iran does not comply and keeps going for nuclear weapons, we will be invading Iran for sure.  \n\nNear-term Iran, However I think China down the road may be WWIII if there ever is one.

No-one can stop Iran developing peaceful nuclear power ; they have every right to it.\nAfter that, if the U.S. continues to bug them to the extent that they feel threatened by it and by Israel, then they will have every right to develop nuclear weapons for self-defence.  In fact they already have this right, as does every country on earth, except the Vatican (which we'll have to call the Vatican't) because it would be unChristian.

Iran is being threatened by the US after we attack Iraq.  In order to protect itself, it is seeking for defense in nuclear weapon.  If it does not get nuclear help, US will find other reason to attack Iran.  Maybe another Weapon of Mass Destruction, and after we conquer Iran, we will make a public speech stating that we got the wrong information from UK again.

Surely Iran won't start to attack,but if US or Israel attack Iran, Iran will answer them,and it's definite right to answer them,Iranian are peaceful people but they are very patriot, they can't stand attacking their country,but in this game many innocent people will lose their life, i hope Israel and US be more wise about this.

It is doubtful with the lunatic they have as a president. I think before the diplomatic procedures can be played out, he is going to either strike Israel, or give cause to have the Israeli's take a preemptive strike due to his continued threats towards Israel. If Iran manages to get nukes, the entire world, but primarily the US and Israel will be in real danger. Any move toward diplomacy is a smoke screen, and is just meant to buy more time. They learned from the UN/Iraq debacle, and he probably has no intention of keeping these nukes in Iran. He will ship them abroad in an attempt to get them over here to America and Israel.

Well nor does Iran have any nuclear weapons and nor is anyone claiming that they do so.All the countries of the world are worried about Iran's Uranium enrichment program which is a prelude to developing nuclear weapons technology.And rest assured Bush is not dumb he does not think Iran has nuclear missiles he is only concerned that it may develop the same in the near future.

Israel will launch an attack on Iran only if it feels that it is the only way to prevent an attack. I could see Israel bombing a vehicle that was to supply enriched Uranium if they felt that bombing this vehicle would delay Iran's Nuclear plans by some significant aount of time.\n\nNote that when Israel launched an attack in Iraq's Nuclear plant (condemned by the world at the time) they made sure to do so when they knew there would be minimal casualties on the ground.

It will be like sticking your hands in a wasp's nest.  You certainly can't say with certainty what will happen, but most likely it won't be good.\n\nThe unusual thing about IRAN is that its young progressive population is also anti-west.  These are not the camel-riding people you think of that hate the West.  These are young intellegent individuals and given a common enemy I don't think would be good for anyone (including Iran).
