Is Iran a threat?

Could Iran start world war 3, or do you think they are just talking themselves up?

from the way it gets what it wants Iran is smarter than all of europe and america put toghether.
iran is not a threat, america is.

I guess it depends. If they get a nuclear weapon and then use it, sure they are a threat.

Say they nude Israel. That is about the only place they could unless they could smuggle it into the US (or another country) and detonate. You know Israel is going to fire some nukes back. It will be over very quick. I would think Israel would turn most of Iran into a parking lot in a matter of minutes with their bombs. This will undoubtably anger some of the more militant arab states and could start an all out war where they attack Israel. We would then come to Israel's defense and there might be other countries like China, India or Russia that would then accuse us of trying to overrun the middle east in order to get all the oil and that could lead to more conflict.

More than likely though they are just talking tough. I think if there are any strikes against them they will be stratigic strikes to take out their nuclear facilities and I think we will have a broad base support for that action. If Iran then declared war the only thing they could do is invade into Iraq or Saudi and we could part our navy off their coast and bomb them into the dark ages. But again this could lead to more war in the area.

What they need to do is allow all their facilities to be under constant watch by the UN that way they can have nuclear power and we don't have to worry about them making WMDs.

LOL no

they are the middle East version of Noth Korea

Iran is only a threat if the USA attacks them..if that happens we have World War 3.

Correct. Iran just like Venezuela, are simply egging the United States on, similar to how Fidel Castro used to do in the old days.

These guys are getting a lot of attention and they are getting a lot of support from the third world who hates the USA.

My fear with Iran is not the Nuclear weapons, but the different terrorist factions which they support.

Israel is going to attack Iran, it's just a matter of when.

It won't be before the US election since voter reaction would be unpredictable.

If McCain wins, there is no hurry to do anything since they would have his support.

If Obama wins, there is about a two month window to attack Iran and still have the support of the exiting Bush. I just don't see them sitting idle after an Obama victory, knowing that it will be 4-8 years before they have the full support of the US again. They want to take out Iran right now.

Depends on the rest of the question . A threat to do what?

American Israeli Zionist Petroleum Credit Union is a threat to world security.
