What would Iran do?

If the Bush Regime attacked Iran's nuke facilities what would Iran's respone most likely be?

they'd hit Israel because that can't reach us. (Except through terrorists) :scared:

... like our troops in Iraq.

...and sadly, few would really care, except Israelis, those who support a sovereign Israel, and right-wingers afraid Jerusalem would be hit (although it wouldn't be).

a relatively short time, everyone who favors rational attempts at dispute resolution over violence and hatred would really care. While I fully understand why Iran wants nuclear weapons, it surely will not add stability to the region. Likewise, I fully understand why Israel does not want Iran armed with nuclear weapons.

This is, however, an issue in while the human race needs to take a more mature stance than the tribalism of nation/state identity. Those who desire peace, no matter if they live in the USA, Israel, Iran, China, Afghanistan, Canada, Brazil, or South Africa, need to recognize that we have more in common with one another than with our sick brothers and sisters who desire the "power" of weapons or the "wealth" of violence. We need to remove them from positions of authority.

Iran vows 'crushing response' to attack by U.S., Israel

By The Associated Press

TEHRAN - Iran warned on Sunday of a "crushing" response if its nuclear and military facilities were attacked by the U.S. or Israel.

Top nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani said, however, that talk of such an attack most likely was "psychological warfare."

"Iran has prepared itself ... they will get a crushing response if they make such a mistake," Larijani said on state-run television late Sunday.

Iran would retaliate without a doubt. :scared::scared::scared:

My prediction?
BFEE allows/stages a catalyst attack to
justify Cheney's plan to strike pre-emptively strike Iran as
outlined in the Philip Giraldi report on the same.
Americans are once again, ushered into
submission, horrified by the realization
that they are not "safe" and they will comply
willingly with the neocon agenda to use
pre-emptive nukes, as revealed, once again
in the Giraldi report.

The global response will be economic, further
plunging the US economy and standard of living
into the abyss.
But hey, we'll be "safe" as the corporatists
pull the plug on what is left of the Constitution.
Cheers,
BHN

If pressured by America, Iran will use its full might to endanger America's interests," chief nuclear negotiator Larijani was quoted as saying by the Siyasat-e Rouz daily. Larijani did not elaborate.

US officials have also repeatedly accused Iran of stirring up violence against their troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Iran denies the allegation.

They'll cut oil production in their own country and stir up the resistance fighters in Iraq to screw up oil production there as well. They'd drop an economic nuke.

Fortunately- I can get to work on a bike.
Woe to those who have a commute
and live in McMansions...they be screwed
under a government who could care a less.

they'll switch to Euro's

Preparatory measures taken to sell oil in euros

TEHRAN, Dec. 2 (MNA) - The Chairman of the Majlis Energy Commission, Kamal Daneshyar said here, on Friday, that preparatory measures have been taken to sell oil in euros instead of dollar, adding that such a measure is quite positive and should be taken as soon as possible.
Speaking to the Persian service of Iranian Students News Agency (ISNA), he went on to say that Iran should at the first phase sell its oil in both Dollar and Euro, and then gradually move toward Euro as the mere source.

As for the probable consequences of such a decision, Daneshyar said that when such a measure is taken, the United States would soon realize that it is not the one who can always inflict economic damages on the Islamic Republic and that Iran can also get even with it.

Hersch said "Oil shock" on the Daily Show.
Ritter said our troops in Iraq might face "a Dien Bien Phu type situation".

Troops are hereby officially known as
CANNON FODDER.
As IF the global elite have ANY concern for
what happens to the troops as a result
of their maniacal quest for global hegemony?
They could care a less what happens to our
men and women in the military as we have
witnessed by their blatant neglect and abuse of them.
I am so disgusted right now.
Damn those greedy bastards-

They'd probably launch their medium range ballistic missiles against Tel Aviv in Israel as well as US targets in Kuwait, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, etc., and they'd use Sunburn anti-ship missiles sold to them by the Russians to try and attack the US naval fleet positioned in the Persian Gulf. Those Sunburns are a bigger threat as far as US assets go though. They're terribly difficult to stop because they travel so fast, unlike the sub-sonic French Exocet or the US Harpoon missile, and if there are several Sunburns heading in your direction, you're pretty much going to get slammed by a warhead traveling at Mach 2.

Whether those ballistic missiles heading towards Israel will carry biological, chemical, or conventional warheads is another issue. Also, Israel's response could make the situation worse.

Israel readies forces for strike on nuclear Iran
Uzi Mahnaimi, Tel Aviv, and Sarah Baxter, Washington

ISRAEL’S armed forces have been ordered by Ariel Sharon, the prime minister, to be ready by the end of March for possible strikes on secret uranium enrichment sites in Iran, military sources have revealed.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2089-1920074,00.html

Israel denies any such plans.

Israel is denying a report in a British newspaper that it plans to attack Iran. But Israel has not ruled out a military strike.

Israel reacted swiftly to a report in London's Sunday Times that it plans a combined air and ground attack on Iran in March, if Teheran does not halt its nuclear program.

"This is ridiculous. I do not know of any decision. I think it is entirely baseless," said Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.

But Mr. Olmert told reporters that there is cause for concern.

Maybe not in March...maybe in February, maybe June, maybe not at all if Iran capitulates to demands. But how likely is THAT?

In an attempt to quell concerns, Iran has invited the U.S. to bid on constructing its nuclear power plants.

http://www.hanfordnews.com/news/2005/story/7280850p-7192722c.html

Will it make any difference or is the PNAC hell-bent on carrying out its agenda as detailed in the Rebuilding America's Defenses manifesto?

...between 'not ruling out' a strike and 'planning' a strike.

unless they had a plan.

They travel so fast that even if there were no explosives attached they can still take a ship out. Iran has several along their northern border, ready for the fleet of ships in the gulf. I say if we bomb Iran there will be hell to pay. the gulf will be flowing red with the blood of u.s. service members.

Don't think that there aren't surely some leakers in the Iraqi military or government with close ties to Iran. They could easily pass on the necessary information to Iran for them to launch an air strike on an American base in Iraq.

Iran has Sunburn cruise missles. While this source is not the best http://www.rense.com/general59/theSunburniransawesome.htm what they say about the Sunburn missles is a know fact.

Anyone bitching about your rense.com link as not being a "credible" source can find the same article at Information Clearinghouse, which I'm confident is on the "approved" resource list.

I am thinking WWIII if the US makes this fucked up mistake with Iran.

There will be levels of violence the world has not experienced before.

The ramifications of an attack on Iran are, well, unbelievably horrible.

:(

then you can count on it!

Iran/Russia, Syria and North Korea....let's have a nukular free-for-all - WHOOPPEE!

Our only hope is that Fitz can indict Cheney and Rumsfeld gets hit by a bus. It would serve to slow 'em down on their Road to Destruction.

That would be the easiest thing for them to do, and the most effective.
