Will USA attack Iran eventually?
- Thread starter ElRazur
- Start date
I thought the US would bomb the carp out of Iran before this whole issue of Iran supplying weapons to insurgents came to light!
This is textbook behavior by the Bush administration. They've made a big mess of post-invasion Iraq and they need to shift the focus. The whole nuclear Iran issue was good, but it wasn't really getting the US people on side. Now we have Iran directly involved in the killing of US troops and undermining US efforts towards stability. It was the Iranians fault all along, you see?
It's been pretty obvious to me that the US is looking to dominate and control the Middle East since 9/11 (inside job or not...) and that means crippling Iran. Bush and Cheney want to do this before they leave office. Obviously we're not talking an all out invasion - that would be impossible. It will be the usual Cruise Missile and stealth bomber approach.

I think Iran are asking for it tbh... But that is just by going from what the news tells me.
Who would stand by Iran if they were attacked - like, who'd be their allies?
Syria is one.
And all the Islamic Militant groups floating around the world
There are others but i forget(Possably Saudi Arabia but im not too sure)
havent really paid allot of attention to any of these "wars" but i asume oil is still a major part of them
so random question here
where does china get oil from ? they must be almostneeding as much as the US these days
how come they dont need to start pointless wars so they can get more of it ?
anyone think theyre up to no good , its always the quiet ones isnt it

I say nuke Iran, America, China, basically the whole lot of them with our tridents, then rule the world for the next millenia to make Britain great again, and to take us back to our imperialist heritage of past. On with the attacks.. for blood and honour 
There is absolutely no point sitting on the sidelines.

Last I heard, China's need for oil was growing about 7x faster than the USA's. If the US is in it for the oil (it's at least one of the reasons...) then it's more of a preemptive policy. Over 80% of the worlds oil reserves sit under the Middle East. Maybe China should be getting involved......maybe they will.

I fail to see how it could be about oil. Just doesn't add up.
The worlds biggest oil reserve is in Saudi Arabia, and we appear to have no problems with them. The worlds second biggest is in Canada, but it is not as easy to get, being what is called non-conventional oil. Though Iran does have the worlds second biggest reserve of conventional oil, Kuwait and the UAE have almost as much, yet they are appear to be our friends. Pretty sure it would be easier to invade them over Iran too.
From what I can see, for Iran at least, it seems to simply be down to the fact that the US really, really don't want them to have a nuke. Probably because the chances are they will use it against Israel or Iraq.
As for my reply to the OP. Honestly I think that unless Iran back down we will see some kind of military intervention from the US.
If the US attack IRAN this will be bad news. Don't forget Russia sits right next to IRAN and supply them with advanced arms.
Probability of the US attacking IRAN is high, this attack will not be like IRAQ (where no one did anything about it).
Going on the likely probability of this event happening this could then lead to war throughout the middle east and Asia. Then basically we will have world war 3 on our hands. As things will probably spiral out of control.
Shorty after the economy will more then likely collapse, as its already very fragile as it is. Don't forget the US is over 8 trillion in debt!
I wouldn't be surprised if we get the first bombs to hit the US since Pearl Habour.
These will be dark days indeed.

Bush is a War-mongerer. He just wants to get in there and stir things up! God help us all if Iran is attacked as then we will have a big war on our hands! All the Islamic countries will join forces. There will be more terrorist attacks etc etc. Bush should be put on the front-line.
Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are no more democratic than Iraq was, it is just that their rulers support the US. The UAE isn't that different although they are making real efforts to open up to the outside world and ensure prosperity "after oil".dbmzk1 said:
Saudi Arabia is in a state of enormous internal (fundamentalist Islamic) tension - 15 out of 19 of the people who flew planes into buildings on September 11th 2001 came from Saudi Arabia; Osama bin Laden is Saudi.
At the time of the invasion of Iraq, the Americans seemed to believe that within months, Iraq would have settled down, the people would be so overjoyed to be rid of Saddam Hussein that they would be enjoying Starbucks & Big Macs. Having ensured a secure supply of oil, the USA could then set about sorting out Saudi Arabia.
The concern for America is to be able to control the extraction and price of oil and making 100% sure that they have "preferred customer" status.
Not for a little while they wont, even the Americans admit that Iran will not have viable, deliverable nuclear weapons for five to ten years.dbmzk1 said:
I think that the only kind of "backing down" that will be acceptable to the Americans will be "regime change" - they want a tame, corrupt, pro-American puppet in Iran again.dbmzk1 said:

While i agree with your post am not sure about calling Russian weapons and technology "advanced" (when comparedto that of the 800-pound war gorilla - USA) though.....things seem to have gone down since the cold war era for them.
