They wont last long if WW3 breaks out. Iran has home base advantage. Shooting 500 missiles at one CBG is sure to take it out. This will only happen if they do war in the strait.
USA only has the advantage if they are out in the open, then Iran has no chance.edit on 11-1-2012 by THE_PROFESSIONAL because: (no reason given)

I agree, I can't for the life of me understand it, every single nuclear power on earth submits to inspections, if they have nothing to hide then why cause hardship on your people just to prove your stubborn? That leaves only one clear line of resoning, they are hiding somthing.

Could they be hiding...that they have nothing?

There is one explanation I can think of: Iran knows war is upon it no matter what it does, so it chooses to go in with some dignity.

Makes sense.

so let me make an educated guess based on history.
a US warship or similar US property will suddenly get "attacked" or "destroyed" in a false flag attack that will get blamed on one of the iranian ships, drones, etc etc whatever so they can justify going to war.
the media will have a field day with it, the general populous will be outraged and demand justice and OFF WE GO to iran.
same old script time and time again somehow doubt it will be any different. if it aint broke dont fix it.

Remember Iraq? I distinctly recall that at one point, the ridiculous demand was made that Iraq prove a negative: it had to prove it had no WMD or invasion would ensue.
I could envision the US trying that again: Iran has to prove it doesn't have a nuke, "or else"... anything to fabricate an excuse. If Iran knows this, then "les jeux sont fait" and there's no point in accommodating NATO in any way.
Still, there many variables, and this could be another irrational case of regime self-preservation. I don't see how a nuclear energy program benefits Iran in any way at this juncture. Now, the costs clearly outweigh the benefits. So ... this is definitely not about energy any more.

It's just fear mongering nothing is going to happen, and if they say it does then they are most likely lying, the media has been caught in the past showing FAKE footage so they hold no credit to me, news to me is figured out by logic.

Perhaps it would be easier if we followed Iran's examples. May be should use the women as shields and have the children walk through and clear the mine fields. We could be like those brave Iranians who hid behind women and children in battle.
All that wouldn't have happened if the nutjobs running the US hadn't overthrew Iraq to put crazy Saddam in power, armed him and told him to attack Iran.

I dont hate the USA, I hate the leaders who are running it.
But you must hate the USA because you are often saying things that if happened would lead to the death of americans and their allies and you appear to take delight in stating it. The leaders of the USA are indeed elected by the US nationals and if you hate them, vote them out. You live in a free nation, I know I have visited the USA and have family there. You can support any religion you wish and worship in public, women and men are equal, you are given right to make your own choices based on common law rather than fundemental religious beliefs and you are given the ability to lead a wealthy and relativly care free lifestyle supported by your countries internal and foreign policies. If you wish to give all of that up, then I suggest you move to Iran.
To be honest you have made my blood boil recently, to see a citizen of a nation talk in the way you have, you don't deserve the freedoms your nation allows you. If you were speaking from Iran in the same tone against Iran, you would be long gone already. Can you really not see what good your nation does for you?

Just read this about Kissinger, not sure if its verified.

"The United States is bating China and Russia, and the final nail in the coffin will be Iran, which is, of course, the main target of Israel. We have allowed China to increase their military strength and Russia to recover from Sovietization, to give them a false sense of bravado, this will create an all together faster demise for them. We're like the sharp shooter daring the noob to pick up the gun, and when they try, it's bang bang. The coming war will will be so severe that only one superpower can win, and that's us folks. This is why the EU is in such a hurry to form a complete superstate because they know what is coming, and to survive, Europe will have to be one whole cohesive state. Their urgency tells me that they know full well that the big showdown is upon us. O how I have dreamed of this delightful moment."
