If Israel strikes Iran on its own accord it would involuntarily drag the US into a new war in the Middle East - one that America is very reluctant to fight, Yiftah Shapir, the head of the Middle East Military Balance Project, shared with RT.

Unfortunate if these countries go to war, this will be a sign that people cannot negotiate, a failure in human nature and the political system. If you ask the educated normal person, we all want peace. Maybe we need a higher purpose to bring us together. Larger earthquakes? Floods? Famine? I'm starting to sound like a book.... Alien Invasion ? yeah now were talking, Stewie! lol

According a February 2012 report from IAEA Director-General Yukiya Amano, Iran has produced 5,451 kilograms of LEU in the Natanz commercial facility. This quantity of LEU, if further enriched, could produce enough HEU for four nuclear weapons, according to the Institute for Science and International Security.16 According to Amano’s report, Iran has enriched approximately 95 kilograms of uranium up to 20% uranium-235 at the Natanz pilot facility and approximately 14 kilograms of similarly enriched uranium at the Fordow facility.
A bluff ?...i think so ..Iran are no iraq ..the odds will be evened up here with Irans arsenal of Russian modern weapons (good old russia) ... Iran I hope is buying mobile "thermobaric" russian munitions (anti-troop) and mobile ground to air by the shipload..you guys make the best around..hezbollah won so will Iran.....these American/British/Isr aeli's cannot fight...they pick on rag-tag armies and weak nations....history has shown them to only be able to attack people with stick and stones ...a REAL war with the guys on the other side firing back better weapons.....hahahaa a shock awaits them.....long live Iran !!....
If the US is drawn into a war against Iran started by Israel, it will be as a result of treachery either internal (Congress) or Israeli based (no notice to US).
They are what the Bible calls the Synagogue of Satan Revelations 3:9, Google the 1925 Jewish Encyclopedia, Volume 5, page 41 and you see that their own literature identifies that they aren't even Jacob's descendants; read Psalm 137 to see what King David, himself thought of them, and read Jeremiah 30 if you want to know what you should be praying for.
this man deliberately forgetting that the Iraqi missile was deliberately emptied their warhead to reach israel, in fact it was tinkered missiles during the night. Iranian missiles are more powerful, faster, more maneuverable with a warhead of one ton explosif (enough to evaporate a whole quarter) nothing similar with the saddam painless toys.this man takes lightly enough, that the Israelis will fly over the Arab country undetected, the element of surprise worked in Syria, a short period of time, which says that will work for hours to go till iran and return
what's that guy smoking? I want the same thing. imagine that the emirates will give permission to land on their soil is worse than believing in Santa Claus at 80 years! the warmonger want we believe that the whole world is against Iran, which is a lie, pure and simple
The war mongers don't care about the people in Syria and they know that Iran would not initiate a nuclear attack if they ever acquired a nuclear weapon (Iran even chose not to respond with chemical weapons when Iraq attacked them with chemical weapons in their war, even though they were legally entitled to do so). It is all about Israel:
"Iran 's nuclear program and Syria's civil war may seem unconnected, but in fact they are inextricably linked. Israel's real fear -- losing its nuclear monopoly and therefore the ability to use its conventional forces at will throughout the Middle East -- is the unacknowledged factor driving its decision-making toward the Islamic Republic. For Israeli leaders, the real threat from a nuclear-armed Iran is not the prospect of an insane Iranian leader launching an unprovoked nuclear attack on Israel that would lead to the annihilation of both countries. It's the fact that Iran doesn't even need to test a nuclear weapon to undermine Israeli military leverage in Lebanon and Syria. Just reaching the nuclear threshold could embolden Iranian leaders to call on their proxy in Lebanon, Hezbollah, to attack Israel, knowing that their adversary would have to think hard before striking back." (JAMES P. RUBIN, "The Real Reason to Intervene in Syria: Cutting Iran's link to the Mediterranean Sea is a strategic prize worth the risk," Foreign Policy, JUNE 4, 2012
We the people from India fully and solidly support Iran against any aggression or sanctions imposed unilaterall y outside UN purview. Iran, like India is a 5000 year old NATION has seen hundreds of Jonnies, Annies and Jokers of the world rise up, threaten Iran and fall by the wayside eventually, during Iran's history. Compared to this, Uncle Sam is sill an experiment of only 236 years. The people of India rise up and call on its President Ahmedinajad to announce to the world after the June 18th Moscow meeting and just say these words "The talks between Iran and the P5 + 1 have absolutely failed. We have walked out from a situation where we felt cheated. We are clearly heading for a confrontation. We will shortly write to all shipping owners not to use Hormuz from 1st July 2012 or face consequences." This is all he has to say. I am very very sure the west's conmasters will visit the restrooms more frequently than they ever did in their lives when the crude price shoots up to 200$ and petrol price to 10$ a gallon. If there is a war, the whole muslim community of this hemisphere will unite and create life hell for the enemies of Iran. The west is very very aware of this. They know war was never an option. And if Israel tries to act smart, America, its protector will surely "kill" Iran and disable its military. Thats for sure. Just wait and see.
Americans seem to be of two minds on this. There are those who realize that this could spiral way out of control and become World War III, and those who are jingoistic and moronic in their love for US agression in the world and follow Israel's lead. I think WWIII would on one level be sad as many innocent people would die all over the globe and much of what civilization has built in terms of art, buildings, literature, music, etc would be destroyed in but a lazy summer's afternoon. However, I am also aware that the world cannot become a total slave to the NATO-USA-Israel Axis of Pure Evil. The gross inhumanity of this Axis is on display everyday and this must end. Those in the Axis who have gloried in the murder of old people, women, and children in the Arab world, Serbia, and Latin American and Asia need to taste it themselves and see the bitterness. It will be a war of world liberation from the new Nazism of Israel-USA-NATO Axis of Pure Evil.
