Of course it will. Whether they go up or down will depend on what industry and if they're affected by the war.

I doubt if a WW III would happen, however if the US attacks Iran it can anticipate the following things. \nWe will start losing oil tankers in the gulf,  The war in Iraq will boil over into something many times worse than it is now, terrorits acts from groups such as Hezbollah and covert Iranian operations will happen with great frequency, and maybe in Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles.\nThe price of oil will become astronomical and tens of thousands will be no longer employed as the airlines, hotels and spin off industries go into bankruptcy.  Oil will go from 100 to 300 dollars a barrel.\n\nAnd the sad thing is there in no need for the US to do this.

China bought oil from Iraq too but they didn't jump. If we moved on Iran with as much support as we have in the world, China would keep a low profile as well. Because china is dependent on export. They depend on the world's economy and on the buying of what they make. They may seem fierce, but with their economical hands tied they're just paper dragons.

For all we know the leaders of Iran are shilling for Bush and his Neocon buddies. maybe they are simply playing a part in the overall geo-political strategy of peak oil.\n\nDont believe the hype.

I posed a similar Question and have similarly gotten only one unenlightened answer so far. Common people, I know there has to be more of us thinking about this, even the media is silent. This is a serious Question!!\n\nThere seems to be so much in the news that makes sense in light of the Iran card. This Port deal that Bush is pushing through seems a little strange, until one realizes geographically where UAE is located, the Straits of Hormuz, the   shipping lane in and out of the Persian Gulf. Nice place to have an buddy in case of a war with Iran.\n\nAnother notable development is that Norway has choose to trade oil Euros, and we don't even have to ask Syria and Venezuela. If the fickle Europeans desire to crush the US, they can in the blink of an eye by jumping off the dollar and onto the Euro. Remember the unfriendly gang of three (Russia, German and France) not long ago tried to show their collective anti American mussel.\n\nIf all oil trades in Euros it will mean the free fall of the dollar. Do all of these countries resent the US enough to see the one stabilizing military and economic power go down in flames? Not all, but some do. Will these nations mind seeing their dollar denominated investments wither, I think not.That said, I think the one thing that may foil the Iranian attempt to sink the dollar, is if well place conventional and nuclear bombs don't preempt the Euro switch in the first place, is the complete lack of a proven, regulated and stable market place. Historical financial data is all calculated in dollars as well and the dollar and Euro do not seem to have a long enough history to translate any predictability into a Euro denominated Market.\n\nAs much as the world may dislike the USA's strong arm tactics, we seem to be the only ones that are not afraid to  go and tackle world problems. i.e. Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, Genocide in Europe (Balkans). And if Americans want to continue to enjoy prosperity (hawks and doves both seem to be fond of money) their government will have to manipulate the balance of power to the USA's favor using all means necessary. The following links are not from main stream media outlets so they can be a little extreme in their views, but that is all we have since no one else is covering this here... now that I think of it an Israeli news source would probably be covering this, since the Iranian President  seems to think "whipping Israel off the face of the earth" is  a noble pursuit for his nation. ~God have mercy on us all!

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.

Everyone, Settle down. Lets say if the us does attack Iran with in the next few months... there will be a few issues to arrise. \n\nHow can we maintain a constant shipment of oil and goods through the persian gulf?\n\nWhat will be the toll of a full scale in vasion on Iran?\n\nWill Isreal play a part?\n\nNow, considering our current locations you have to realize we are surronding Iran. East- Afghan. West- Iraq SW- Persian Gulf (Which contains US Navy Bases) We have an extremely good capability on the assault on Iran because there Ballistic Missile program doesnot hurt the US (It can really successfully target Isreal and european countries. And due to lack of accuracy there missiles can not really successfully target iraqi or afghan US bases though possible) \n\nThe actual use of US Soldiers will most likely be minimal in comparison to the Iraq effort. Most of Iran's time money and effort has gone into three things, Ballistic Missiles, Navy equip and Nuclear engineering. They are still very Third world in other aspects of military life. \n\nNow, as far as China is concerned they have recently tried to deal with russia in regards to oil (very lil US oil comes from Iran) so they can circumvent Iran. Also, China is trying to increase Sino-US relations as far as terrorism is concerned so they will most likely not take any sort of side in this conflict.\n\nRussia, they might be overall neutral but slightly more Bias towards Iran due to the fact they still have deep issues with the US. They might help Iran but the aid would be minimal incase of conflict because they do not want any open-press coverage of something like that.\n\nIsreal- The questions with Isreal's involvement are more less simple but the answers are TBD. Will Iran try to strike Isreal in last effort? Will Syria get involved(with their own goal ie: taking back the homeland) if Isreal does?\nHow will Jordan come into play, or will they not?\n\nSaudi Arbia, UAE, Quatar, Bahrain and Oman- All of these countries success lie with in US/european markets. I whole heartedly beleive they will try to stir some propaganda about this NOT being a religous war so they can gain more money and profits. Thank god for greed.\n\nPakistan- Due to the border relation with Iran will Pakistan be Neutral? They cant go against the US, They are to close of an alie. But If they did non can gurantee India would not attack them and end them for good.\n\nThats all I am gonna cover if you have any other ?'s, as always, Just Ask! : )

Why would the Bush Administration risk widening Gulf War II to include Iran when it still has the chance to limit its losses to Iraq? The most popular explanation is that the US wants to pre-empt the Iranian decision to set up a Tehran oil bourse to facilitate the selling and buying of oil in euros instead of US dollars.\n\nThe idea is that this would cause a chain reaction in which more and more oil producers and their customers would trade in euros and eventually force the US to pay for its oil in euros too. This would mean the US would have to do what every other country in the world has to do, namely earn foreign exchange through exports in order to pay for its oil imports.Last year the US trade deficit for petroleum products was about $300 billion. While the $US remains the international reserve currency and oil continues to be traded in dollars, the US can pay for its oil simply by printing more IOUs in the form of US treasury bills.\n\nIf the US had to find euros (or yuan) to pay for its oil, it would have to increase taxes, cut consumption and increase exports. In short, according to this scenario, the US could no longer afford to be a military superpower and would have to cut back its global adventures.\n\nIn the process, the $US would collapse, wiping out the accumulated financial assets of America's major creditors and probably causing a depression of 1930s dimensions. More generally, such a development opens up the question of whether the reserve status of the $US is supporting US superpower status, or whether US military power is propping up the reserve currency status of the $US.So can we conclude that an Iranian oil bourse trading oil in euros is the real reason for the current crisis? Perhaps this is prematurely jumping to conclusions. The claim that the Iranian bourse will definitely trade in euros appears to me to be based primarily on speculation at this stage. I have yet to see a clear statement on this from the Iranian government. There are certainly good reasons for suspecting that it might be in euros, since Iranian government sources have previously spoken favourably about trading for oil in euros (9,10) and according to a statement attributed to the Vice-Governor of the Iranian central bank, Iran began selling oil in euros to Europe in 2003.Pentagon sources confirm the Bush administration could undertake a desperate military strategy to thwart Iran’s nuclear ambitions while simultaneously attempting to prevent the Iranian oil Bourse from initiating a euro-based system for oil trades. The later would require forced "regime change" and the U.S. occupation of Iran. Obviously this would require a military draft. Objectively speaking, the post-war debacle in Iraq has clearly shown that such Imperial policies will be a catastrophic failure. Alternatively, perhaps a more enlightened U.S. administration could undertake multilateral negotiations with the EU and OPEC regarding a dual oil-currency system, in conjunction with global monetary reform. Either way, U.S. policy makers will soon face two difficult choices: monetary compromise or continued petrodollar warfare.

If US attack Iran, it will be the beginning of a collapse for all.  Neither Iran nor US will win the war. We all will face with the ugly consequences of a war and we all directly or indirectly will be affected. But for sure the war opportunists and beneficiaries will won something in $. \n\nWinning a war is not simply to take control of a land, have other components also. Bush and his crew should have some considerable amount of reasons($) to push their country and the world to a very dangerous edge. They do not concentrate internal problems but prefer to play the guard of the world with poor justifications.

Once the military might of the USA is reduced, its dominance in the international trade and the Rule of Dollar as an international currency may also get affected. The current conflict only reflects the inter-connectivity between the military might and the international economic scenario. Coming days are very dicey and  decisive for the whole world.

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.

Dear Asker: Great question at least it makes me feel that people are alive and thinking. It gives hope. Oil companies are making huge profits out of our pockets.  Unfortunately, things don't look that good, what if Iran is attacked then where would the oil prices go?  It scares me.\n\nWe would be riding horses in the near future. Lets buy horses before there price go up and oil companies come into the business of selling horses.

More thank likely another conflict in the Middle East is very likely.  \n\nThey are comparing the president of Iran to Hitler when it comes to anti-semistism.  I was reading somewhere, I think it was an article on CNN, where someone was saying that back then people just dismissed Hitler's anti-semtic stance as just rhetoric or empty speech and if they acted they could've prevented the Nazi Regime.  Well that person said that they should not dismiss the president of Iran's speech as rhetoric, empty speech, and pursuit of nuclear enrichment, but they should "act" this time around.

I think the USA is more of a world wide danger than Iran is.  Iran might be a "threat", but the USA is currently a world wide problem in many ways.\n\nIn fact, there are dozens and dozens of country that seem to benefit from when the American market goes south.  Many foreigners also contributing to American business so that hopefully will elect a president that will support the needs of the world for the upcoming election.\n\nMore than anything, we need the world on our side, and right now, much of the world (besides England) is not in our favor.
