What is ATS view on this matter?
Pure insanity IMO. The inspectors found no indications of any material diverted for clandestine weapons production. Iran has only just now begun enriching uranium to medium grade levels, which is useless for weapons, nuclear weapons require around 95-98% enriched uranium to be viable.
What an attack on Iran would actually mean, is an end to the posturing between the US and Israel and Russia and China. Iran can, and will, close the gulf down for shipping, you think your gas is costly now, just wait until you have to dip into the national reserves to keep the military going.
Beyond that, by pushing Iran into a corner, you are forcing their hand. The US and Israel have been making threats for some time now. What does a cornered animal do? It attacks.
Even if Iran was developing a nuclear weapon, they have ZERO incentive to use it. But, as is evidenced by the countries in the region NOT invaded by the US, having a nuclear weapon is a deterrent against aggression.
If Iran used a nuclear weapon, on anyone, their country would be fused into green glass fairly quickly. Using that weapon would spell their certain demise, and regardless of what the media has taught you, the Iranians are anything but stupid.
Until Israel signs the NPT and opens their sites up for international inspection, I think they should just shut up about Iran until it actually poses a threat.
the fact is, if the Iranians were as bloodthirsty and irrational as some would have you believe, they would have already attack Israel, and lost.
And no, I don't really care if Iran is funding "terrorist groups" in the region, Israel and the US are doing the SAME THING, spying, bombing, assassinating, so no, i don't take that into consideration at all.

This psychopath obama needs to shut the f up and sit the f down before he gets us all into the deepest s we have ever been in.
Exactly. Couldn't finish Iraq, still haven't finished Afghanistan, but he's willing to take on highly trained Iranians, and by extension, the Russians and the Chinese? I really doubt he's that insane or thick headed, but then again, we might be going on more information than is supplied to him by his "handlers".
Anyone really wishing for an attack on Iran, feel free to look up your local recruiting station where they will give you a rifle and point you in the right direction.
Those beating the drums for war, IMO, should be the first line of infantry in the invasion.
