Would US attack Iran?!!

OK, then you and every other American should be punished because you guys elected Bush and a number of other ruthless murdering idiots before him. More Americans by far (% wise) support Bush than Iranians support Ahamdinezhad. everyone in America should be subjected to an indiscriminate nuclear holocaust because of the complicity of the american public in allowing the massacre of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis over the last 16 years.

Sound logic.

Indeed. This is something I agree with you on. Some people are just after political mileage. And cynical is my middle name.

Thaks the massive idiotic blunder that is Iraq, no one will be attacking Iran anytime soon.  The US is dumping money and ever more scarce manpower into the hopeless cesspool of Iraq with no long term benefit likeley to come of it.  None of Irans neighbors are now in a situation to attack Iran either, what a shame.

Pay no attention to these leaked BS things about possible attacks, they are tricks by enemy intelligence to scare Iran into shifting and relocating air defences and sensitive sites so that they can pick them up with sattelite.

Iran is so bold and brazen with its words and internal actions because it knows the truth of the matter, it has calculated the hike in oil prices should the USA and the coalition of the willing UK and Panama, Poland (?) decide to launch military action be it aerial or surface and it is just not worth it.

Some even speculate that Iranian intelligence manipulated the Americans into invading Iraq so as to allow Iran to go public and develop its nuclear capabilities without any real fear of aggression.  At the same time Most of Iraq is now friendly with Iran and Iran with its Iraqi friends has been systematically assassinating former Baath members who have detailed knowledge of Iran.

The latter is the probable reason for the random bomb attacks in Khuzistan the perpetrators of which were dormant baath cells... Iran blamed Britain for them after Britain blamed the deaths of two soldiers in a road side bomb on Iran without a shred of evidence.

It's possible but not plausible.

There will be no international support, especially after the Iraq blunder, and there're no more troops available. They're busy being dug-in in Iraq, where they control the Green Zone of Baghdad and a couple of oilfields to the north (thanks to the Kurds).

But perhaps they'll try to make the Iranians submit using air-raids and naval blockade.

In any case only one thing is certain: It's going to be a huge mess if they try it.
