bombs blow up stuff, missles too.



It won't be good for many people.

They will counter attack. The targets will be the oil refineries and terminals in the gulf region specifically the Persian gulf region. The Iranians have a large number of cruise and ballistic missiles that are more than good enough to hit such large and close by sites. The other targets will be oil tankers these being attacked by there modern kilo class attack subs which have the advantage over American subs in the noisy shallow waters of the gulf. The other way they would counter attack is with terrorism and sabotage attacks at other world oil refineries and infra structure like power plants, telephone exchanges and the like. It is these realities that will keep the US from attacking Iran. The other big reason would be if Iran invaded Iraq then the troops there would be in a hopeless position a real army to fight on one side and insurgents every where else. A generals worst nightmare and no reserves to call upon.

More then likely, IF we attack Iran, under the current situation, unless we are dramatically reinforced and Iraq itself is stabilized and is behind us, we'd take one bad loss in the opening phase.

1)We do not have the troops to even control the insurgency in Iraq.

2)Iraq's Shiite insurgents are backed by Iran. Unless they are brought into the government and into backing the US, they will rise up behind our lines and cut off supplies, communication, and retreat.

But, given the technological superiority, and likely air superority in the region, these defeats will not be substantial. The troops will regroup in northern Iraq, controlled by the US friendly Kurds and will prepare to try again along a more secure, if more hazardous invasion route. An invasion of Southern Iraq will have be mounted again in order to stabilize the southern flank, although Sunni Arabs from Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Jordan would be more then willing to help in that regard.



Phase two, will be more succesful, as American technology and air power will likely overwhelm the Iranian army and suicide squads. Tehran will be captured after a week of fighting and the Iranian forces will withdraw either into the south toward the rocky coast, where a seaborne landing is improbable, if not impossible, or toward Iran's northeastern border and will fight a guerilla war from there. From there the war would progress into stage 3.



In stage 3, the Iranian resistance will mirror the Iraqi resistance movement that is currently going on. Guerrilla tactics designed to avoid American firepower, and will run from eastern Iran to southern Iraq. From there, everything will depend more on what Bush can do to persuade the majority of Iranians to back the US (which might be easier then in Iraq today, as the Iranians as a people are dissatisfied with a theologic government more then the Iraqis) and how well the new battlions are trained in counter-insurgency tactics.



Net Result

Draw. The US's already unpopular Iraq War will prevent the US from maintaining an Iranian war for the long term. While the present government will be destroyed, the US military will be forced to withdraw before a replacement is fully established leaving southern Iraq and most of Iran in chaos.



Casualties US

Killed- 3,500-5,000

Wounded - 9,000-15,000

Missing/Captured - 3,500-10,000



Casualties Iranian/Iraqi Shiites

Killed- 500,000+

Wounded -600,000+

Missing/Captured - 250,000



That is my best guess as to what would happen if we attack Iran.

Since the Iran hostage crises 30 years ago, the U.S. has been looking at a possible war with Iran and what it would look like from different kinds of senerios such as creating U.S. backed terrorism, a real embargo to a straight conventional war complete with rebuilding to a nuclear war.



Problems:

The U.S. has not only failed to create a terrorist back organization that can take over a democratic country, they seem to come back and bite the creater.



The embargo strategy has failed with different countries too. Even people in the U.N. were cashing in on the oil embargo in Iraq. With Russia and China wanting Iranian oil at all costs, an embargo wouldn't work.



To win in a conventional war, the U.S. might have to kill 10 million Iranians (based on the 10 million Germans that were killed in WWII) in an all out war or maybe a couple of million trying and failing to win the hearts and minds (complete with a wimpy pull out and hatred around the world).The U.S. might go after the water supply which could kill 3/4 or more of the population from dehydration. It'll probably cost $3 to $10 trillion to wage. It depends on how the U.S. fights on how many U.S. forces are killed. If ground troups are used, maybe 10,000 dead. If it's just B-52 bombers ripping apart the border cities (cutting off the supply lines out of the country) and moving inward there would probably be less American deaths.



That leaves the nuclear option. The nucular weapons are already paid for and it could be waged in less than 1/2 a hour while killing enough Iranians (all of them in the country) to actually get a real win. Things would start to really heat up as Russia would nuke Chechnya, China would nuke Taiwan and or Japan and even Israel might nuke some territory. Conventional troops would only be used by poor countries or just as trip wires.

If a attack of Iran happened, it will mostly be a air campaign, very little ground involvement at first. I think there would be wave after wave of air bombing, cruise missiles, long range missile strikes. We could do that almost indefinitely. After the country is substantially weakened, then ground forces would go in, probaly around the scale of what was on hand for Desert Storm. 500,000, or more. Iran could fight an insurgency the rest of thier days, but even with half a million troops they are pretty much in a hopeless situation. But in the end, is it worth it? I would just send cruise missiles at Ahmedidjhad and send him a message. We can stop this now, or we can keep going. I'm thinking he would give in first.

The US will not be attacking Iran without first bringing back the draft. So when you hear that we've done that, you can start to get nervous.



And you should be, very, very nervous; because with a draft, Iran would be crushed by the US.



All Iran really needs to do to get off US radar is elect a new president and bring down the old hardline regime.

I don't think they would necessarily attack Iran in the way they did Iraq. IF they do attack Iran, I believe they will just take out the nuclear sites.

2007-05-05 05:21:29 UTC
I don't think the US is going to attack Iran any time soon. If it does, it will be limited to nuclear sites and avoid as much collateral damage as possible.



It won't change the fact that monkey boy Ahmendinijad will cry and scream to the UN because we hurt his feelings....

I hope not. I agree with Kev M. Too many lives have been lost already. Every time I watch the history channel I keep thinking how similar things are now as they were in the past.
2007-05-05 05:20:26 UTC
America will be making the same mistake as they have been this whole war. We are in something bigger than we realize and we need to back down before it is too late. The type of warfare and the ammount of recruits Al Qaeda is recieving, they are not even close to weakening. The longer the war goes on the stronger they are going to become. Lets find a way to live together, I don't care how you live your life, why can't we all feel that way. If you don't believe in my GOD, thats fine, we all have our opinions, lets just stop the fighting.

IF the US does attack Iran because Iran refuses to stop uranium enrichment and allow IAEA inspectors to oversee the process, obviously, Iran will defend itself and counter attack. However US and its allies have by far more miltary might.



For a country of its size, Iran has a formidable military.

http://www.globalfirepower.com/country_detail.asp?country_id=25



Under the "divinely guided" leadership of their commander-in-chief- and Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, the Islamic Republic of Iran has two kinds of armed forces: the regular forces and the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), totalling about 545,000 personnel.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran/Military...



Military branches:

Islamic Republic of Iran Regular Forces (Artesh): Ground Forces, Navy, Air Force (Niruye Havayi Jomhuriye Islamiye Iran; includes air defense); Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (Sepah-e Pasdaran-e Enqelab-e Eslami, IRGC): Ground Forces, Navy, Air Force, Qods Force (special operations), and Basij Force (Popular Mobilization Army); Law Enforcement Forces (2007)

The Shahab-3, Fajr-5 and Zelzel missiles are among the effective weapons in their arsenal (aside from the soldiers who are willing to be martyrs).

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/iran/weapons.htm

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/iran/index.html



Iran's Shahab-3 ballistic missiles are capable of carrying a nuclear warhead and can be detonated by a remote-control device while still in high-altitude flight as electromagnetic pulse weapons - even one of which could knock out America's critical electrical and technological infrastructure, effectively sending the continental U.S. back to the 19th century with a recovery time of months or years. Iran will have that capability – at least theoretically – as soon as it has one nuclear bomb ready to arm such a missile

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=43956



Russia delivered to Iran 29 TOR-M1 (SA-15) surface to air missile systems designed to bring down aircraft and guided missiles at low altitudes.

Iran may also have Russia's S-300SP surface-to-air missile system, capable of shooting down targets some 90 miles away.

Iran's key nuclear sites.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4617398.stm



In addition to the British frigate HMS Cornwall, there is a multi-national strike force in the Persian Gulf. Furthermore, there are British naval vessels stationed at the Diego Garcia atoll in the Indian ocean. The British Royal Navy may take action with its Special Boat Service (SBS) , the British Royal Navy's special forces unit. The service's motto is "By Strength and Guile". It forms part of the United Kingdom Special Forces, alongside the Special Air Service (SAS), Special Reconnaissance Regiment (SRR), and Special Forces Support Group (SFSG).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Boat_Service



Ready to assist are the American aircraft carrier strike group aircraft carrier CVN-73 USS John C. Stennis (deployed January 20) and the French nuclear carrier Charles de Gaulle and its task force beth are in close appoximation in the Persian Gulf. A 3rd carrier group, the CVN-68 USS Nimitz (deployed March 30) was scheduled for its WESTPAC07 deployment to replace the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower which is now going back to the US. It was deployed December 2006.

Amphibious ready group LHD-5 Bataan ( USS Oak Hill, USS Shreveport). In carrying out its primary mission, BATAAN would transport and land ashore not only troops, but also the tanks, trucks and other vehicles, artillery, ammunition, and complete supplies necessary to fully support the assault. LHD-5's armament system includes the NATO Sea Sparrow Surface Missile System (NSSMS) for antiair warfare protection, two Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) Systems and two Phalanx Close-in Weapon System (CIWS) mounts to counter threats from low flying aircraft and close-in small craft. Six missile decoy launchers augment LHD-5's antiship missile defenses. LDH-5 was scheduled back on April 4 and was evidently kept in the Persian Gulf due to circumstances in the area.

More details about military options can be found here:

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/ops/iran-strikes.htm



On Tuesday, March 27, 2007, the two US strike groups, USS Dwight D. Eisenhower and the USS Stennis, along with guided-missile cruiser USS Antietam, conducted military exercises in the Persian Gulf. The participants included 15 warships and more than 100 aircraft..



Each carrier carries an air wing of F/A-18 Hornet and Super Hornet fighter-bombers, EA-6B Prowler electronic warfare aircraft, S-3 Viking refueling and anti-submarine planes, and E-2C Hawkeye airborne command-and-control aircraft.



Also taking part were six guided-missile destroyers, the Anzio, Ramage, O'Kane, Mason, Preble and Nitze; the frigate Hawes; amphibious assault ships Boxer and Bataan; and the minesweepers Scout, Gladiator and Ardent.

http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/world/2007-03/28/content_838185.htm



The Isfahan plant is above ground, but Natanz is more than 50ft below and would require either a tactical nuclear missile or a conventional bunker-buster bomb to destroy it.

This following analysis is what would happen if the U.S attacked Iran,it will start of with an easy victory for the U.S,then serious consequences like in Iraq,then massive consequences for the world.The analysis was made using Wikipedia,Iranian military sites,casualty predications made by news broadcasts and city populations as well as other random facts.



Before attacking Iran,this is the consideration the U.S will make about oil dependent nations like Russia and China.

There is no real threat from Russia as of now,there is no real threat from China,both nations are some what cooperating with the U.S.But this small cooperation is nothing compared to the hatred they share of the U.S.A,and quickly that small cooperation can die off.There is currently no event that can do that in the near future except for one.And that is the invasion of Iran.As I

said,convetionally there is no country that can cripple the U.S.There is only guerrilla tac tics,social divide and perhaps large scale nuclear war.If the U.S decides to strike Iran from the sky and through the army,there is no doubt that the U.S will succeed,but its the after effect of that crippling conventional strike which worries U.S Generals.Imagine 11 million armed men and WOMAN charging into Iraq and into the Arabian dessert ready to die for their fanatical cause and disrupt the U.S as much as possible,Iran planned this,they have a after effect guerrilla force which can be put together and lead by their elite soldiers to wreck havoc in the Middle East.They themselves know their conventional military cannot defend their nation from the U.S.Their conventional force will be used to protect their guerrilla force and bye them more time to get into Iraq and the rest of the Middle East and slowly work their way up to Europe and cause social unrest and more terrorist attacks throughout the world.



This is my view of how a war with Iran will escalate into the world's worst nightmare.I took my time to write all of it so please read!



Its 2008,13 santions have been imposed against Iran,they have built 6000 centrifuges (news analysis) and may already have a nuclear weapon.Diplomacy has failed and the U.S is at its last option.Iraq is currently still full of U.S troops and they are only coming out by the end of 2008 as planned.But sadly they might not even get the chance to come back...

The attack has began.

The U.S has sent their force of F-18 Superhornets to defend the airfields between Iran and Iraq and between Iran and Arabia.The superhornets are from the two U.S carriers deployed in the Persian Gulf.B-2 Stealth bombers fly above Iranian nuclear sites and B52 bombers guard lower Iran from Iranian army movement.The strike begins as percision guided weapons dig deep underground and destroy any bit of the nuclear facilities as they can get.Hundreds of U.S Aircraft will be deployed over Iran to cripple their infastructure.Their Tor-M anti-aircraft systems which are considered to be equal to the patriot would destroy U.S aircraft and those especially include F-15s and F-16s which are more vulnerable.At this point Iran may have realized what is going on.In 1988 an Iranian warship was destroyed by the U.S.This lead them to believe the fact that their naval forces composed of warships are no match for the U.S and its far more technologically advanced fleet.So they decided to instead have large numbers of fast,small and advanced boats as well as anti-missile ships and small numbers of frigates in the case they end up in a future confrontation with the U.S.Their forces will be large and their vessels will be scattered.This is exactly what will be going on at this point.Desperately Iranian generals will shout out the commands as their communication stations dwindle from U.S airstrikes.Their 60 MIG 29s and 25 F-14 fighters will fly above the Persian Gulf and Iran-Iraq border to defend retaliate and to hold off U.S airpower.The battle is at high intensity.In the beginning of the Iraq war 20-30 U.S troops died every day during the first few days and this was Iraq.However this is Iran.Their airforce is dieing out fast and they know there is no hope for defending their nuclear sites.In the first two days of battle 50% of Iran's airforce will be crippled and thousands of their troops may have died during the strikes on military bases and nuclear facilities.The civillian casualties will also be high since those locations are near civillian areas.Thousands of civillians may have also died.The Iranians know the war is hopeless for them in the first few days.Their military casualties will be over 2000 and the U.S will be in the hundreds since its very high intensity.MIG 29s with their local upgrades or whats left of them will komakazi into U.S vessels and into Iraq and parts of Oman(country in Arabia known for its oil and economy).Their F-14s will fight boldly but the F22 Raptor may have been called out at this point and crushed whats left of their air support.Most and if not any U.S aircraft destroyed will be from the Tor-M anti missile and anti aircraft systems.The nuclear facilities are hopelessly destroyed within a few weeks and Iran's crippled airforce will have Mig 27s (around 30) and F5s (around 50) but most will be destroyed.Whats left will unsuccessfully or successfully try to attack U.S locations in Iraq.Iran's Navy may be some what more successful.Their small vessels will be destroyed on sight by U.S warships but if a swarm of them approach and fire anti ship missiles then they can be a threat.Most of Iran's navy will carry out strikes in oil ports but most unsuccessfully as large numbers of U.S warships will be deployed there.It has been a few weeks and the losing battle (in Iran's perspective) is waged on and the U.S tries to attack the last bits of Iranian military bases which have not been called for duty.Iran has 25-100 Shahab 3 missiles.The U.S may have definetely took care of them but non the less Iran does have a large territory and many of the hidden ones will be fired off into Iraq,Israel or Oman and any part of Saudi Arabia thats reachable.In the Iraq-Iran border the battalion of Patriot missiles will destroy any Shahab 3 coming and the U.S Navy will destroy most of the Shahabs coming from the Persian Gulf.The navy may not be as successful however but very few Iranian Shahabs will have met their targets.Any left over variants of the Shahabs they have like the Shahab 2 and Shahab 1 will be fired off and most of them destroyed.The ones that reach their target will inflict civillian casualties.The U.S has enjoyed the fun part of the war so far and it may have been a month.The Iranian forces may have a casualty of above 6000 and the U.S may have a casualty above 600.Units of U.S troops storm through southern Iran on APCs and Abrahms tanks followed by Apache helicopters.Iran's Army which may have spent the vast majority of the time digging pits and preparing itself to invade Iran will have done so at this time.Iranian tanks will guard the southern portion of Iran and face of against their more powerful adversary.Iran has the Zulfiqar MBT and Zulfiqar 2 MBT which are in the same age as the Abrams.There is a Zulfiqar 3 but less then 100 of them.These are 300 of Iran's best tanks.And ofcourse they will be the first line of defense.Iran's large quantity of surviving Cobra helicopters will guard them.Iran will also have the Boragh APC on the front line.Iran's best forces will guard them.The rest of Iran's force of 500,000 troops will be pouring into Iraq and as I said they will not do it formally.They will be scattered with small support from surving chinook helicopters,the helicopter Iran has long overhauled.Some of their forces will be on motorbikes with one driver and one RPG holder.They have prepared for this so the support they need is in pits scattered across the dessert.Desperately the U.S forces in southern Iran will have to get through Iran's tanks which which will try and prevent the U.S from getting further north and stopping the infiltration.Iran knows that the U.S has a much powerful Army and that their tank forces should not be in high density,which is a lesson learned from the 1991 Gulf War and Saddam's mistake.Their tank forces will be scattered but their little fire power will be focused on one place.Through struggle and another month of battle the Iranians may have another thousand military deaths but the U.S will have 500 for that month since the infiltration into Iran will take a toll on the U.S troops stationed there.The U.S troops will not get to come back from Iraq and will instead be stationed to protect the border.Terrorism and revolutionary change will be a major problem in Iraq at this point as a few thousand Iranian troops may have managed to sneak in.Iran knows their tank force cannot hold on much longer.Their older T-72 tanks will come into Iraq and the majority will try to hold of U.S forces in the south.The U.S aided by its airpower will destroy most of the supply lines going into Iraq.But they have long prepared for guerrilla war and have many pits underground for weapon storage.The surviving Tor-Ms will be moved to the west of Iran to protect the soldiers crossing into Iraq.Sa 7s will be a continuous threat to U.S Apaches.Iran will now induct 200,000 of the reserves to go into Iraq.Terrorist attacks will have a major increase in Saudi Arabia and Oman.



The war has gone from the first and second stage to the third.It went from the war for Iraq to the war for Iran and now it is the war for the Middle East.Iran rapidly losing ground stregnth will go for their final solution involving missiles.The Fajr 3.The left over nuclear material from their now obliterated nuclear program will be used to make dirty bombs.Another month of bloody warfare has passed.Casualties for civillians in Iraq will be in the 10 thousands and many hundreds and even a thousand may have been killed in Arabia.Iran will still have 800-1000 military deaths but the U.S will be lowered at 400.Israel and coalition forces like Britain will take part in protecting the Iraq border.Oil supplies will have hit an all time low and the cost will have reached $4.50 as previiously predicted in the U.S.The U.S will be something out of the Vietnam War and there will be protests on the streets and the nation will be torn apart.The draft will be raised.Hundreds of thousands of U.S troops are now stationed in the Iran-Iraq border and in southern Iran.Refugees will pour into Saudi Arabia,Jordan and Syria from Iraq.Iran will unleash the big gun and fire the Fajr into Iraq,Saudi Arabia and maybe even Israel.This missile is the most advanced in Iran's arsenal and they may have hid it.They have 20-50 of them.The missile is capable of having low detection and can avoid anti-ballistic missile systems.It can carry 3 different warheads but with low weight.However the areas where the missile hits along with the radioactive payload will kill hundreds in small towns and villages to thousands in the cities in Saudi Arabia.Saudi Arabia will launch mass participation in the war at this point and station troops in the Iraq-Saudi border to prevent Iranian infiltration,Saudi Arabia will also patrol a lot of the Arabian Sea to prevent any Iranian vessels from going into the Indian Ocean and spread around the world.The oil crisses is great and Russia,China and India as well as other industrialized nations will be angered by this,to the point where they will cut diplomatic relations with the U.S.The U.S is in a big problem now.The U.S and coalition forces may have destroyed most of Iran's tanks.Iran's leadership is unstable and its leaders may be hid,finding them will take a long time since their area is much larger then Iraq (reffering to Saddam's capture),but once they are captured they will be no use since they have no control now.Iran's forces are mostly commanders and elites leading the millions of draftees,reserves and surviving Army troops.Iran's tanks and APCs will be crippled but millions of terrorists are now in Iraq and moving into Saudi Arabia as well as small factions supporting Hizbollah going to Syria and into Lebanon.Syria will have given support to the terrorists in Iraq and even given weapons,since they are a close ally of Iran.They may have sent small numbers of soldiers into Lebanon to attack Israel and others into Iraq.In the border between Iran-Iraq,Iran will put to use its artillary and whatever is left of it like their truck launched missiles and home made arsenal will be set off.The U.S has hundreds of thousands of troops in Iran desperately trying to get a hold of the nation and get the terrorist minority factions to fight the dominant government.Iran will be an absolute hell with hundreds of civillians starving or being murdered every day,similar to Iraq.Terrorists and members of the Iranian parlimantery resistance will wreck havoc to the U.S forces.The U.S will resort to more bunker busters and even mini nukes in the Iran-Iraq border.They will be useful but not useful.Iran will set of numerous dirty bombs in Iraq and some may even get into Israel and Saudi Arabia.Guerrilla units are making their way to the northwest of Asia and maybe into Europe.Terrorist attacks will be common in Europe.Iraq will be in complete hell.Hundreds to a thousand civillians will die every week and the government will begin to collapse.The Shiite militias in Iraq will join in on the Iranian assault and slowly everything begins to fall apart.Repeatedly whatever is left of Iranian anti ship artillary will be fired by its small rugged group of naval ships.The Persian Gulf will have daily tragedies involving ships being blown up and robbed.The Chinese and Russian economies which depend on oil from Iran will start to fall.The U.S market will not look too good either.In the first 6 months more then 2000-3,000 U.S troops will be killed,Iranian militant and military casualties above 12,000 (low compared to Guf War casualties against Saddam).Iran has lower casualties then Iraq could ever dream of in 1991 because of their guerrilla tac tics.Civillian deaths in Iran may be above 10,000,000 because of the killings and starvation.Iraq will have had more then 1,000,000 civillian deaths including the ones it already suffers every month so Iraq's civillian casualties are at 1,500,000 in only 6 months.Saudi Arabia will have its casualties of hundreds and if not thousands by continuous terrorist attacks,the world as a whole may suffer hundreds to thousands of deaths due to terrorist attacks,social tension and protests to the war.Coalition forces like Britain,Iraqi Army,Israel and others may have casualties to 1,000 combined.Especially from the border raids by Iran.This estimate was made with Iran war scenario sources which determined casualties around the Middle East if there is war with Iran.As a result of the U.S occupancy in Iraq and Iran 10.5 million will have died in 6 months.For the next set of months the casualty will increase as more artillary is fired and more Iranian guerrillas make their war throughout the Middle East,now their religious groups will be intent on getting into Israel.As many U.S patriots say you can nuke Iran and "git" over with it,this will not work,the enemy is everywhere,not in a nation,not in a city,but everywhere.And if you do nuke Tehran it kills civillians but these massive amounts of guerrillas will still be there.



Deep into the war now and perhaps finished with 80% of it there are guerrillas and death squads in the hundreds of thousands to millions throughout the Middle East and even in southern Europe.Britain and other coalition forces will have withdrawn a lot of their troops and put them in more strategic locations like their home land or in Saudi Arabia where there is oil.In the year more then 700,000 U.S troops will be in the Middle East and an average of 200-300 will die every month.With 10,000 terrorists in Iraq right now 2-3 die a day and probably 60-80 monthly,but we are talking about millions of terrorists.The U.S will be torn with protests.China and Russia and maybe even India will build up their forces especially to deter the U.S since oil prices have hit an all time high.At this point anywhere from $4.75-$5.00.Gruesome murders and theft will happen in the U.S as a result of this.The world looks like its on the brink of a major war.This time Saddam's dream and if not his last wish of one million Americans dieing as a result of invading Iraq (which paved the way for Iran to invade) will look like its coming true.Through 1.5-2 years of war the U.S death toll will be in the 6000s and the insurgent-Iranian military death toll at 20,000.Deaths around the world and in Iran will be 25,000,000.There will be mass starvation and constant death squad killings.Syria is now funding militants and is living up to Iran-Syria agreement.Military rows and small arm incidents will be common with Syria and Israel.Hizbollah will have carried out a lot of attacks and Israel will respond by invading Lebanon.Many hundreds of foreigners will probably be killed because of this.Syrian troops will be on high alert and launch artillary shells.The inflow of Hizbollah into Syria and Syria protecting them will result in small scale battles between Israeli and Syrian forces,this may or may not escalate into all out war.But the large presense of Iranian based and sunni and shiia millitants in Lebanon and support from Syria will result in war.This will be a mass event.The U.S had planned for this to happen since Syria had been supporting militants and by the situation as it is the militants were causing enough harm,even without support.Syria like Iran has state of the art air defense systems.So Israel's intitial invasion will have casualties.But Israel will be able to quickly cripple Syria's Air Force since they have much more advanced planes.Many of Syria's 42 MIG 29s will get into Israel but will be shot down by U.S patriot missiles and Israeli Arrow missiles.Syria will barrage Lebanon and Israel positions there.Leading up to a ground conflict which will result in thousands of military and civillian casualties over a few months.The U.S will station 5,000-10,000 troops in Israel to protect it.Palesteine will now have the chance to send in its terrorist units.Desperately fighting with all its might Israel has a low quantity but high quality force.F-16s and F-15s will soar over Lebanon and Palesteine.Syria will send its troops into Iraq and into Lebanon and Israel.Mekava tanks of the Israeli Army as well as U.S artillary and air support will protect them.Syria over months will have 10s of thousands of military deaths while Israel and the U.S will have thousands in the area.The battle is now full scale throughout the Middle East.Syria is now crippled based on infastructure.They have thousands dieing in their nation from killings,air strikes and food reduction.Israel is now in a tight situation.They are in gruesome fighting in Lebanon where many thousands will have died and even 10 thousands over the months.Damascus the capital of Syria will suffer from major Israeli airstrikes.Syria's military infastructure is crippled.Syria.Iran,Lebanon and Iraq are in ruins.The burning smoke of war and bombs fills the sky as terrorists and coalition forces battle threw the wreckage,men,women and children are dieing all around.Through 3-3.5 years of the conflict the U.S forces will have 20,000 deaths compared to Syria,Iran,Palestiene terrorist force having a death toll of 60,000.Especially from Syria who does not use guerrilla warfare and conventionally was crippled by the U.S and Israel forcing them to send terrorists and guerrilla units to wreck havoc in Lebanon,Iraq and lower Turkey.The Coalition forces like Israel will have deaths in the 10,000 with Israel contributing to a lot of it.Civillian casualties will be in the millions at this point.Most from Lebanon.The Middle East is hell now.The U.S is divived by activists,protests,murder of Muslims and violent demonstrations,China and Russia and even India cutting relations and the global economy falling.Poverty,corruption and famine has spread around the world.Terrorist attacks are commonly happening.Israel is now in the threshhold of releasing its nuclear arsenal since they are budged in by Syria and Palestiene and Islamic violence dominates their lands.And eventually Israel unleashes its arsenal of an estimated 200 nukes at Syria and Palestiene and into Iraqi insurgent areas as well as areas in Iran.The Middle East is suffering a nuclear fallout and war is going on every where.Many millions are dieing and Syria,Iran,Lebanon,Iraq and parts of Israel have fell as a nation.The world is something of a nightmare.The U.S prepares its nulear arsenal as well as other major world powers.As economies collapse and famine happens they will blame the U.S.The violance has spread into Jerusalem and Mecca.The Middle East is in ruins as I have said many times.More then 50 million will have died over 4 years and now its 2012.This is when Nostradamous intended world wide battle to happen.The stock markets collapse and the world is on the brink of self destruction.The U.S has lost its superpower status with its forces spread out so much.Pushing it into a wider conflict.Nations will fight each other now.The U.S is desperate for oil and goes into Alaska and even attacks Saudi Arabia which is fearsly matched.Russia is angry over the hell that has happened for 4 years and readies its forces.China and India cannot be world powers now.All the countries are turning against each other and the death toll is at the 100 millions.Famine and starvation is starting to effect the U.S.Forces which are still deployed in the Middle East.But now its not country vs. country.Its people vs people.The last days have arrived.World economies are collapsing and everyone demands the U.S fix it.The war went from Iran to the Middle East and now to the world.



Oil dependent nations struggle to adapt to the situation.And the U.S demands Saudi Arabia to give its oil supplies or whats left of it atleast.Countries start to fight over resources and finally the day comes when all out battle begins over oil and resoures.The world in famine,starvation and poverty sees no use to exist and its all the fault of the U.S. Russia and China launch their ballistic missiles.As does the U.S.The leaders of the U.S are relocated to Colorado springs and Area 51.After 45 seconds the unbelievable happens.In the sky residents of major U.S cities will see flashes of lights.In the movies the missiles come in a slow pace,and explode.But this is not the real case.Immedietely after seeing the light everyone will die before hearing it.The missiles come down 30 times faster then sound on atmospheric re entry.There are massive civillian casualties,fighting still continues around the world.First Iran was in ruins,then the Middle East and now the world.Destroyed by the nuclear fallout,the survivors head south toward tropical areas.Much of the world is in darkness,smoke and dust.A combined amount of 1000 megatons of nuclear weapons has just been detonated,the nuclear attack at Hiroshima was 15 kt and it killed 90,000 on the spot and killed many more from the radiation.1000 kt is one megaton.Imagine 1000 mt of nuclear weapons being detonated.Darkness and death wrecks most of the world.People head south toward vegetation and warmer climates,maybe even a little sunlight,since the Earth is covered with smoke.The magnatic fields push the radiation north,so south is where its safe.2/3 of the world population has perished.Small colonies will emerge and maybe even nations and empires.New Ethnicities will also appear,since people of different Ethnic backrounds will merge in the Southern part of the world,children will be born more pale and people will have larger pupils since they are deprived of light,after a few centuries the PH levels in the oceans will return to normal and the vegetation will grow faster,and the sky might start to clear up,new hope arrives for mankind.This was WW3,this is what could happen if Iran is invaded with military might,the collapse of society.As you can see its not really military might which has effected the world,after all Iran could have gave up after their Army and Airforce were crippled.They could have gave up after bunker buster and mini nuke strikes.Japan gave up because they were concerned for their people,how come Iran will not do that?If the U.S attacks first,they will fight back,they are backed by their fanatical wishes and perspective of religion,they want to fullfil a prophecy,thats why they will fight on,not with their crippled military,but with their brainwashed public.Social hatred could spread like wild fire,economies can collapse,this is not WW2 or WW1.It works differently.Such small social hatred can turn into an event which will kill billions.However the view presented is pescimistic.In a scale of 1-10,ten being the worst case scenario,this was 8.Five would mean WW2 like casualties,maybe even higher.But as I said the view presented could happen,mainly because of the economic and social consequences.
