I haven't seen Bush back away from a pissing contest yet!\nIran will make Iraq look like a day at Michael Jackson's Neverland!\nYou kids should get ready because the crap can and probably will hit the fan.

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>

I'm sure the USA would never be so stupid as to get into a war with Iran. \n\nDoes anyone really think we could withstand a war against Iran when China and Russia will back Iran? I'm not sure if N.Korea would get into it but for sure it would be WWIII.

There is going to be a war with Iran and there is nothing anyone can do to stop it. If the USA does not stop iran they will develope a nuclear war head and get it to the U.S. because they hate American's and freedom, Also they think it will please thier god(who is gay) they are going to have to be B.I.T.C.H. slapped or the west is doomed.

Definately.  The war in Iraq isn't going that well for us, and Iran is a bigger, more powerful country.

Using military forces...No.\n\nBUT\n\nI think they will manipulate the World Economy so America collapses under economic ruin...especially if ANY military action is taken against Iran.

that's a possibility.\nThey say that Osama benladin was a CIA agent and that the American government hired him to start the war thus inevitably giving them access to Iran's oil.\nBut then again this would raise very serious doubts to most Americans.\nNow let me ask you... what made you ask that question?

The current "disagreement" will end peacefully... well, without war. The US cannot independently act militarily against Iran -Internationally it would mean political suicide. The US WILL need to have UN backing for any military action against Iran. The world watched the illegal Iraq campaign take place... We all see the problem of "Enduring Freedom!" They will NOT standby and watch a similar action in Iran. There is just no justification for it. Regardless of the empty political rhetoric of the Iranian leaders, the world does good business with Iran.\n\nThis does leave open one other option for the US, and, disregarding "black op's" (Terrorist insurgency) the US could act unilaterally against Iran... \n\nThis is the worst case scenario internationally. And just when does it make sense to go to war with a country and use "nuclear weaponry" against them because they are POSSIBLY embarking on a program to manufacture nuclear materials?!?\n\nThe world is watching, and the world doesn't watch US news.

We probably will go to war with Iran, but not until 2007.  This is an election year and Congress is not going to approve anything which will infuriate the public right before half of them are up for reelection.

Certainly not in near future means woith one year. However, after pulling forces from Iraq, US will try to attempt on Iran.

Niether USA nor Iran want to go to war with the other.  Their respective leaders merely want to make them sound tough to their resppective people.

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.

A war between Iran and US would be a tragedy for both nations. It is not important who wins, it's important how many victims there will be on both sides. At the present technological stage, it should be easy to understand that war must never be an option.

I don't think so, nobody wants war with Iran, because they have allies in China and Russia and that would be world war III

If there is a war between USA and Iran it will be because Iran is threatening Western Europe and Israel. If that happens, then Iran will be bombed to destroy its infrastructure the way Vietnam was bombed.  Any war with Iran will be a defensive war in response to what Iran has done just as the war in Iraq was due to Iraq's attack on Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Israel and other middle eastern countries.  The USA contrary to public opinion is not a war monger and does not get involved in war unless it is attacked itself, or its allies are attacked.  The US was asked by many oil producing countries to get involved in Iraq, but sadly was not allowed to admit that this is what happened.

personally i think before next spring israel will attack iran as soon as iran starts the 3000 certrifuges (or just before)  just out of paranoia of a nuclear weapon... if they have talked to the US or not will be irrelevent.  \nonce this has happened  you will know that ww3 is at the door and wants to come in.  before this point there is always a way to turn back.\ncertainly the govts are expecting it as there are war games (military posturing) in the gulf by the US.  and Iran have responded by doing the same.  The EU have pooled resources to speed up r&d in weapons and want results in 3 years (there's an actual time line for you) the UK did not sign up for this as they say they are already doing it, so you can cut the EU timeline by half.  which means that war will be in europe in about 18mths to 2 yrs.  \nfor those who say it has started need to review history.... currently we are seeing the signs, it doesn't start until war is actually declared by more than 2 nations.
