So....is war in the Middle East imminent?

[mattboxingfan]

Sorry guys but i don't watch a lot of news so i dont have much clue about what going on between Israel and Iran, I know Iran was bombed by the Israelis and there were lots of civilian deaths? I would be very greatful if someone could fill me in and just give me a summary of whats happening between these countries you dont have to make it huge. Muchly appreciate it guys

ha you're right you don't watch the news much! Israel haven't bombed Iran yet.

Anyway the crisis revolves around Iran's nuclear program. They are close to having the capability to build nukes, and Israel cannot allow that to happen as Iran is run by a crackpot whose foreign policy towards Israel is their total destruction.

If Iran get to the point where they could have nuclear weapons that could be used on Israel, the Jews may have no choice but to preemptively strike and bomb all of Iran's nuclear production facilities to prevent them from completing the bomb.

Iran have a lot of very powerful supporters however, not least Russia and China and so potentially this could end up a world of trouble, and in an absolute worst case scenario a Third World War.

It shouldn't come to that, but there's an awful of simmering under the surface of the Middle East right now, and it could erupt big time.

Thanks for that Bilbo! Is Iran's leader a muslim? And i've just read up a bit on the subject and im stumped as to why Israel is killing all these innocent Iranians?

Yes aside from Israel the entire Middle East is muslim,and the Arab muslims despise the Jews. If you picture a Tolkienesque landscape with a few thousand beautiful and noble, immortal elves surrounded by millions and millions of ugly Orcs and Urak Hai led by dark sorcerers and evil overlords you'll have the right picture.

This has been going on for 3500 years with those mighty immortal elves (Jews) facing down the Dark Hordes in impossible circumstances. My sig will show you the nations and civilisations stupid enough to think they could take out the Jewish race and the status table will show you how that worked out for them.

If Iran and the Arab world do attack Israel they will get beaten worse and more one sidedly than Ricky Hatton against Manny Pacquaio

How so? Surely with Russia and China they would be some force?

Yeah you would think, but the Jews have.....other advantages. Seriously if every nation on earth waged war against Isreal (and it will happen eventually) Israel will still win.

This is a typical Iranian Presidential speech



I like how wears that shitty little jacket all the time as well. There are literally dozens of videos of him on the net and he's always in that little jacket. He's shorter than me and looks like a gnarled and sun baked desert goblin or something.

There isn't going to be anything resembling a war in the region, only very one-sided military action by a rogue nation. If anything happens it'll be Israel, with its scaled-down version of the US army, attacking one of its infinitely weaker neighbours. It won't spread any further than that, China, Russia etc. would not get involved. Absent any Israeli attack there'll be no attacks on Israel by any other country. America doesn't want Israel bombing Iran while they have tens of thousands of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan in situations Iran could make much worse for America should they want to do so. Israel would have to get permission from America to overfly Iraq in order to attack Iran so if it does happen the world would know that America agreed to the bombing. This would have big consequences in Iraq/Afghanistan.

And bombing Iran wouldn't prevent them getting a nuke, quite the opposite in fact. Right now Iran aren't building a nuke and the only thing that would make them do it is an Israeli and/or US attack. Even if Iran started building a nuke tomorrow attacking them would only delay them building one, not prevent it. Also nobody is going to invade Iran. America couldn't handle an insurgency derived from 5 million Iraqi Sunnis, they had to agree to withdraw after failing in their objectives. No way could America fight an insurgency derived from 50 million pissed-off Iranians who only kicked America's imposed dictator out a generation ago. Plus you have the oil issue, nobody wants skyrocketing oil prices with such a fragile recovery. Any attack on Iran probably is years away, but who knows with a rogue regime in charge in Tel Aviv.

More likely is Israel bombing Lebanon, Syria, or the Palestinians again, and that's probably a reverse order of likelyhood. As in the past this is most likely to happen before a general election in Israel or at a point when the government needs more political capital or prevent what exists of the Arab-Israeli peace process making progress.
