just another north korea feel my roar tactic
disagree. global economy / oil; everything that happens in that part of the world reverberates.
and anything involving Israel, may well escalate to invoving us.
imho the Muslims in the region are trying to separate the US from Israel, and there is a growing number of pols in the US that will go along with that. I suspect they are using carrot (oil) and stick (missiles) to coax us to abandon Israel, which could mean sitting idly by while a Muslim alliance attempts to remove Israel once and for all.
there's a LOT of folks in that part of the world that will not rest until Israel is gone.edit on 26-5-2013 by works4dhs because: clarify

I don't think the Iranians are talking about the capabilities of their arsenal. But as other posters have said, nothing that would threaten mainland US. Now the export terminals at Ras Tanura on the Persian Gulf are a different story.
If they hit those, and essentially cut off the Saudi oil supply, then all bets are off. Iran has to know they have no chance of taking on the US and its allies, but they could sure make them pay for doing so.
So if something does happen, it is going to be a powder keg. One thing for sure, if it does, you better have a tank full of gas cause prices will skyrocket.

These missiles don't even have to be live/viable. You set them up in 'strategic' positions and wait for Israel to feel threatened enough to take them out. Then you didn't "start" the war, Israel did.
The Iranian elections are a total charade. The Ayatollah and his council have already chosen the (conveniently all right wing) candidates. It really doesn't matter a bit who actually gets elected. They will simply follow the plan that's been handed to them.
