Israel will not attack unless they want to drag the US in, unfortunately for Israel to hit Iran they have to use Iraqi air space and that will implicate the US, once the first bomb is dropped on Iran the first thing Iran will do is target the US fleet and slow or stop oil from leaving the gulf of Hormuz.
You can be assured if Irans nuclear facilities are hit that there will be Russian workers in them that will be killed dragging rusia into the picture as well.
China will keep it's army strong and fit and not wear them down with needless fighting and stay out of the picture until they know they can just walk in and take control.
Again this is just an opinion like all others, we don't have crystal balls to see the future, but we can probably be certain that we are very close to the point of no return.

Yes Iran will be taken out like Iraq and Afghanistan before them. As you say we heard all the same stuff about the Iraqi military, same about the Afghanis. Fact is they are generations behind in actual military terms. Iran could be taken out piece of piss Saddam style no problem. All this stuff about China and Russia, they can be bought out, they want a piece of the cake too. We just saw how devastating a display the IDF put on in Gaza, they are a mean tool in modern warfare, now imagine USA and UK (possibly France too) taking out Iran proper style. Just like Saddam and the Taliban before them, the Mullahs would be eliminated piece of piss (mother of all battles) in no time at all.

funny thing to see people thinking what happened in afghanistan, iraq and in gaza recently as a victory...
you didn't eliminate nothing: talibans are stronger than before, troops must leave iraq, hamas is still there, while israelis are pulling back...

Prince I know its difficult for you to understand and all but a larger population means there are more men that can fight and more that can beocme freedom fighters. And I don't know why your glaoting over Iraq becuase you have won didly there and as soon as Obama starts he will pull the troops out so thats another defeat to chalk up to the much vaunted US military.
Slayer, you have no proof that Russia or China wont support Iran so whats your point? The mere fact that the Russians are supplying Iran with some of its best weapons systems is an indicator of its support also the Nuke project. China has been supplying it with missile sytems that the US cannot beat. They may not openly back Iran but you can be sure they will happily supply any country that takes on the US. Why fight a war yourself when you can get others to do it for you.
The Russians are smarter than the Americans, they dont't go around bragging what they can do and who to. They have a habit of keeping quite but slowly pushing their agenda and objectives. A war with Iran will spell the end of the US, perphaps thats whats on the cards right now. Time for the US to hand the crown to some one else.
