I heard that iran can fire 20 thousand rockets at israel within 5 mins of an attack by israel.. I believe they are very capable of hitting israel hard,
I wouldn't be suprised to see a conflict between Iran and Israel blow up a bit but I don't see WW3 happening.

Well that was good for a laugh....
20,000 rockets in 5 minutes? Not even the US has 20,000 ballistic missiles...
My god.... please. Just... stop.
Where on earth did you hear this?
I would love to see the source you got this from.
Reminds of the "45 minute claim" regarding Iraq in 2003.
Saddam could apparently launch chemical attacks on the US or Britain within 45 minutes notice.
How believable does that sound today?

The worst part of all this is that the media ahs made it that the US/Israel will take Iran out in a couple of days which is miles from the truth. It is almost certain that such an attack on Iran will allow the various nations of the ME to join together against the common enemy Israel. Iran is backed by some very serious and capable hardware from Russia and China and all those who think its going to be a push over are in for a big shock.
Iran is not Iraq and the allies have een fighting there now for 5 years with no end still in sight. Iran on the other hand has had years to prepare for this war, the country is huge compared to Iraq and the population is nearly 4 times bigger than Iraq so its not going to be a push over.
It will be relatively easy to block the straits of Hormuz despite what America and its allies try to do. As such oil prices will sky rocket and the effect that will have on Western economies will be disasterous. Petrol will be 20$ a gallon and thats if you can get any, plus oil is in thousands of every day products. if its some one's grand plan to wreck the World this is it.
Everything should and must be done to prevent a tiny country with a tiny population, Israel, from engulfing the World in a World War and Global meltdown
