Will Iran attack Israel ?

Should Israel wait until they are attacked to do anything about Iran?

Would that be too late for them?

Will Iran attack Israel?

What is up with these long range missles that could even reach our country?

Why are they testing them?

Do you believe Iran is enriching uranium for peaceful purposes only?

Should the United States just sit back and watch another holocaust?

Why or why not?

Israel, not Isreal.

Technically Iran has already attacked Israel, via proxies in Lebanon and the Gaza strip.
As for going for a direct attack instead of using proxies...sometimes even a regime which presents a disturbing religious philosophy and policies can practice reasonable political decisions for their own survival. but at the same time perhaps we should know better. in the early 90's Saddam's Iraq did bomb Israeli cities with long range missiles, so its not as easy to say its a far fetched scenario, especially in the face of the rhetoric coming from the Iranian leadership.
The timing of revealing the new nuclear facility and the successful launch of the Shahab 3 are not encouraging either.
as for the US standing by, I think an American decision needs to come from a realization that the improvements in the Iranian arsenal puts American forces under the range of this arsenal. the US needs to decide how far can it let an Iranian hegemony which will effect the American forces and alter the Middle East build up in the region. the most important analysis should be what are the points that the US is trying to achieve through diplomacy and playing the carrot and the stick game, and is achieving these points viable.
I'm not saying the only alternative is a physical assault on Iran, but a change in politics and diplomacy may be constructive. in a way it seems that the Iranian leadership looks at the world at the moment, and is not impressed by the opposition to its policies and its aspirations.
about an Israeli attack on Iranian facilities. already a long time ago I saw how that lost its momentum, with every passing year more complications appeared.

Iran is run by zealous antisemitic scum. It will do what it feels it can get away with.
Sadly, I have to agree.

However, I wonder if Iran really thinks they would be able to get away with a direct attack against Israel, with the Western world looking at them with so much suspicion at recently. I'd like to think that Iran isn't so reckless, but at the moment I'm not sure.

How many of your children would you be willing to risk?

None, naturally.

Yet I don't quite see what this has to do with what I said? I hardly praised them..

"I'd like to think that Iran isn't so reckless,"

Such a wager represents a risk that apparently you wouldn't take... and the point is, neither should Israel.

Yet I used the conditional tense; "I would like to think (that in an ideal world) that Iran isn't so reckless (but I think Iran is reckless enough to)". That doesn't mean I said "I think" or "I like to think", so I still fail to get the point of the question. :shrug:

and the point is, neither should Israel.
What do you suggest Israel should do?

The bottom Dollar is,Ahmanidejad and the Council of experts have made a deal with the Mehdi (oh yes they believe this) and for the Mehdi to come there needs to be a global conflict (according to them) add this to the fact Ahmanidejad has sworn to wipe Israel off the map is a pretty damn clear indication of there intensions and not a matter of if but when.
What should Israel do? its a tough one because of the pact Iran has with Hezbollah and Syria so the whole region could erupt,what should the USA do? another tough one,theres Russia to consider although Russia are uncomfortable with Iran being Nuclear so perhaps a deal could be struck there but allin all its not a pretty picture.

If America joins the conflict will other Muslim nations join the conflict to protect their 'brothers?'

Down here we're afraid of Indonesia and its radical muslim infections (luckily only a tiny minority) infecting the wider population. The Indonesian army has more soldiers than Australia has bullets, thats an issue.

But would other muslim nations attack America and its allies if America acted?

The question should be; "Will Israel and the US attack Iran?" not the other way around.
At least we know that both the US and Israel are two nuclear countries, one has actually used nuclear bombs to eradicate people, and the other one are know for its racism and systemic massacres of another (race) of people.

Israel and America are not calling for the destruction of a nation based on race. If Iran was not making claims amounting to "destroy the jewish nation" i dont think Iran would be an issue.

Their fanatical outbursts bring attention. If Iran is stupid enough to scare Israel and the USA, i think they will be destroyed first. Its a shame they cannot live peacefully.

Yes, of course, as I said the US actually destroyed villages by its nuclear bombs and Israel doesn't mind to increase the number of its bloody massacres.

Those bad westerners right. If the US had have attacked Japan by land almost 3x the amount of people killed in nuclear explosions would have died. Forgot to mention that didn't you?

Israel acts forcefully in self defense. Should they just give Palestine back their land and walk away before they get attacked again :rolleyes: If people were attacking Egypt would you let them do it, or act to prevent it?

You can ask our regimes about that thing...And I think the answer is very well known!

So what?!
