Is their a viable military solution to stop Iran from producing nuclear weapons?
How can we be so sure that IRAN is developing Nuclear Weapons.JumpingFrog said:Is their a viable military solution to stop Iran from producing nuclear weapons?
JumpingFrog said:Pres. Bush just said on BBC World that he is not ruling out a future military intervention.
Do you think the US still has the added ooomph to take on Iran considering their current situaton in Iraq?
IRAN has ballistic Missiles that are much better then SCUD Missiles of IRAQ and these Missile will become a major problem for US bases in IRAQ and also the US cannot afford to avoid IRAQ in case of conflict in IRAN.Whispering Death said:JumpingFrog said:Pres.

We have 12 Nimitz class aircraft carriers and multiple large airforce bases in Iraq. We've got enough free assets to cripple Iran even without ground pounders if such a decision was deemed in our National interest.

Also that their would be no European Allies like in case of IRAQ and US forces will have to battle with a fresh and experienced military of IRAN who have studied the GULF WAR and also the current WAR and that means a more drastic challenge.
If you are opting for this option then prepare for a long and bloody conflict until US withdraws from both nations.
TBA_PAKI said:JumpingFrog said:The problem is that Americans do not trust Iranians because of them being hardliners.
It's not just the Americans. France & Germany, amongst others, also don't trust Iran's motives and remember how strongly France oppossed the US over Operation Iraqi Freedom.
IRAN has no Nuclear Weapons and that option gets ruled out easily and if it has some then their would be no talk of conflict.Cadet Seaman said:TBA_PAKI said:IRAN has ballistic Missiles that are much better then SCUD Missiles of IRAQ and these Missile will become a major problem for US bases in IRAQ and also the US cannot afford to avoid IRAQ in case of conflict in IRAN.Whispering Death said:JumpingFrog said:Pres.

And how do they plan to deal with our heavy armor, gunships, ect.. they would have to devert to unconventional tactics just like Iraq.
Thoughout history every enemy has fear the U.S. Japan feared the "Sleeping Dragon", the NVA and VC found out you can't fight the U.S. in conventional ways, thats why most enemies have fought in unconventional tactics.
Besides our contigancy plan is if we are hit with cehmiclas, nukes, or bio weaposn we hit the enemy with a nuclear strike. Land, Sea and Air.
Whispering Death said:You're missing what I'm saying. The US has the free assets to pummel Iran from the air. We have 12 aircraft carriers, and a number of large bases on Iran's boarders. This is in addition to Israel's assets and the assets of Europen countries that are much more likely to get involved in Iran than they where in Iraq because they have been taking the lead with Iran, not America.
I am not at all saying that in 6 months Iran will be levelled. I also agree that a ground invasion of Iran by American troops is unlikely in the next 2 years, but I have enumerated for you all the assets that are very free and very able to decimate Iran.
America won the war in Yugoslavia without putting a single Abrams tank on the ground and even if Iran won't capituate from air power alone it certainly gives a huge deterant to building nukes and if an air war is going on, it makes is very very difficult to enrich uranium while bombs blow up everything bigger than a 2-story house.

I agree, USA doesent need any ground troops to criple Iran, you can just bomb there Nuke site to**** without any ground troops, you can just use few cruise missiles, and if Iran will counter-attack lets say to Iraq, then all the countrys are going to help Iraq, like some european countrys and Israel.
JumpingFrog said:Yeah in Iraq.
And its likely the Israelis will do it again, this time in Iran.
ill be damed if i know said:Maybe the americans can just bomb the nuclear facilities of iran so not bringing civilians into it( correct me if iam wrong but didnt isreal do something similar?).
