Martial law will get declared in most part of the world
most people will live in fear for many yrs
while the rest of the world is in flame
You've been watching one two many movies my friend, .......you'd be wiser to indulge in more time reading proper history books to give you a better grip on the REAL world.

Using nukes in an attempt to shut down a nuclear program, certainly beyond ironic so I don't think so.
And as for war broadly, again I don't think so. Iran is massive, not only that but it's smart and has not been on the end of a decade of brutal sanctions like those that crippled Iraq so any "War" would be brutal and likely have casualty rates beyond that acceptable to the average punter.
Then there is the money for war. Exactly where is that going to come from ? Iran is only a threat to Israel not the US there is no threat either militarily or financially to the US.
Cheers
At 03:00 hours this morning American Forces with our partners etc......

There was no threat from Iraq either. But we invaded.
Serbia was no threat either. But it got bombed, even when it tried to defend it's sovereignty against Islamic insurgents. Not only over Kosovo, but Islamic insurgents, Jihadis, were there in Bosnia, and are still there today.
So just because Iran may not be a threat, doesn't convince me it wont get bombed. Which it deserves to anyway.
Oh and for the record, Iran is a threat to the US. It can easily attack American interests and allies in the region.

As things stand as they are it would be political suicide for any British political party to support such an action and there is no chance of UK involvement in any military action.

The UK will not be directly involved in any military action against Iran unless it can be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that Iran is planning any direct military action against the UK or any of it's close allies.
And we will not be as easily fooled as we were by Blair, that is still fresh in the memory.
I can not emphasise just how strongly against the UK getting involved in any confrontation with Iran public opinion is - and please don't take that as a weakness - it's just got nothing to do with us and we are far too aware of both Iraq and Afghanistan.
I don't think even Cameron is that stupid or arrogant enough to commit any UK resources to any such venture as things stand as they are.
ETA.
TPTB may indeed be willing to send millions to their deaths, unfortunately for them 'the people' aren't quite as prepared to go as they once were and may indeed be prepared to make a stand.

They want to go to war, it's obvious, it is already being plastered all over the news networks, like the Orwell Big brother system you've read about of conditioning of mass hypnosis.

No, it is not obvious that they want to go to war. What is obvious is that there is a lot of high politics going on from both sides of the divide. What is obvious is that the main thrust from the EU, USA and others – including other Middle East states – is around exposing and highlighting the apparent fallacy of Iranian claims that they are whiter than white and not doing anything devious. The IAEA seem to think there is something going on.
