Well maybe not next week, but many of those "in the know" believe that despite popular opinion in Israel and indeed the rest of the world being against a pre-emptive Nuclear Strike on Irans Nuclear capacity/or capacity in progress is a foregone clonclusion some time in 2012 (the year predicted to be the end of the world) Certainly the leaders of Israel have stated that this is thier intention if the rest of the world fail to convince Iran to abandon thier Nuclear Capability preparations.
They may of course use conventional bombing tactics but that would be extremely difficult, Iran has a far superior defence capability than Iraq had before the wars there, a strike on thier nuclear facilities would require a minimum of 7 precision high powered (bunker buster) bombs being dropped on a target the area of a house.
Whichever method they use be it nuclear or conventional there is a strong likelihood of counter aggression from Iran aimed at Israel, which could easily mean the involvement of the USA (when don't they join in) if the US goes in there is a strong likelihood we in Britain will be called upon by our closest military allies to take some part.
Iran will get support from other Middle East Arab countries and Muslims around the world.
We are probably as close to a nuclear war now as we were during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
What if Israel take no action and Iran succeeds in it's intention to make itself a nuclear power, Iran has stated that they intend to "wipe out" Israel as soon as they are able, will the Nuclear War be started by them in the not too distance future.
Posturing, Threats, Intimidation, Bluffing, make no mistake, the situation has worldwide implications and could change our way of life forever and very soon.
THOUGHTS ..............
iran has never attacked another country
according to the international watchdog, the international atomic energy authority and the c.i.a., iran is not creating the nuclear ability to create atomic weapons but solely peaceful electricity productive capacity.
iran is surrounded by nuclear powers. america in afghanistan and every other bananistan, india and pakistan but most of all israel that reportedly has 300 nuclear weapons and refuses to sign up to the non proliferation treaty which iran has.
israel has bombed gaza many times, bombed and invaded lebanon many times, bombed syria and bombed the uss liberty during or rather at the beginning of the 1967 war. it even attacked and killed people on an aid ship delivering vital humanitarian aid to gaza.
deliberately, haveyourdinnerdad was misquoted. he never said anything of the sort about wiping israel, i mean palestine, off the face of the earth.
the war mongering and arab springs are products of psyops created in tel aviv, wall street and the city of london to overthrow existing regimes in the middle east to secure oil, gas and minerals for the west but more importantly, to prevent india and china from obtaining the same.
the figure of 9 thousand dead in syria as a result of the syrian regimes crack down on peaceful ? protesters is pure fabrication. the syrian free army is the priduct of western intelligence and special forces.
the danger does not come from iran, but western agression that the whole of the world can plainly see because the are not so inundated with with the propaganda and media control that exists here.
the greatest danger comes from a false flag (gulf of tonkin) incident perpetrated by the west/israel. not iran.
Blimey! Nuclear war next week. Better start panic buying a ICBMs just in case.
I read about a bloke who said he wanted to wipe out all the jews in the world, he did his best to bring about his dream and managed to kill off quite a few million of them, then most of the rest of the world stood up against him, hung a lot of his helpers and stopped his regime, when they had finished they said "never again"
a country will drop MOAB on iran's nuclear facilities vaporising the whole area if things get so bad.
And of course everyone will deny knowledge of being involved.
only one country has dropped a plutonium bomb and a atomic bomb on people with intent.
i wouldnt rule out it happening again.
which is very sad as we all have the right to live without fear from this nightmare.
Little Boy, Hiroshima
The bomb employed a fusing system that was designed to detonate the bomb at the most destructive altitude. Calculations showed that for the largest destructive effect, the bomb should explode at an altitude of 580 meters (1,900 feet).
Funnily enough the reason we live in North Wales is cos minxes dad is a nuclear scientist. You couldnt make it up eh?
