    Is Iran Invasion coming !

    The time line appears quite tricky. Trump team appears to have assessed that another US led war may not be favorable during the re-election campaign and hence may have put off invasion for the second term. However make no mistake if there is any war that will prove to be popular and appeals to...

    Is Iran Invasion coming !

    What I meant in the other post was that US was not known to place the proverbial toe in the door, like attacking Air defense or airfields and not go in and finish the job. In syria they only intended to export the Arab spring.

    Is Iran Invasion coming !

    The Arab sheikhs fear an existential threat from Iran and if Iran were to come out unscathed from this scrap, it would be emboldened to go for the jugular vein.

    Is Iran Invasion coming !

    Well for everyone's sake let's hope this whole thing blows over and president Trump goes back to his favorite pastime, i.e waging tariffs war.

    Is Iran Invasion coming !

    Arab states who had no qualms in supporting US against a hapless, sanctions ridden fellow Arab neighbor, are unlikely to miss a heart beat while jumping in to support war against iran. From what I'm reading from the gulf press, they are pretty much sold to the US promise of a swift victory. Who...

    Is Iran Invasion coming !

    Going by current trade war being waged by the US, health of the international economy appears to be hardly the concern of the folks in the white house. More over with US becoming a net exporter of fossil energy, rising price of oil & gas would work to their liking. Of course war and the rising...

    Is Iran Invasion coming !

    Degradation of their air defence but to what end. It will not stop their nuclear program, the alleged trigger for the current round of flare up. Nor will it put an end to Iranian power play in the region, if anything successfully winning the who blinks first contest will only goad them further...

    Is Iran Invasion coming !

    America is causing huge instability in the region and this won't be good for anyone in the long run. Moreover a war with Iran will automatically make Pakistan a frontline state and the military establishment there will exploit it to the hilt. War in Persian gulf will also impact lakhs of Indian...

    Is Iran Invasion coming !

    US is not known for taking half hearted measures. What we are witnessing appears to be steady build up of an invasion force.

    Is Iran Invasion coming !

    At the beginning of this thread, I said the war will begin in September. It's still on schedule.

    Is Iran Invasion coming !

    This appears to be a genuine build up of War fighting capability for a possible invasion and not just Saber rattling. It was reported that the Americans could deploy up to 120,000 ground forces. This is a large force and full deployment would probably be completed by around September. This means...

    Is Iran Invasion coming !

    Well undoubtedly Iran will take steps to secure their foothold in a region suffering from mind numbing sectarian violence. However I don't believe Iran's putcsh into the middle east has any economic - trade related consideration. The predominant factor in their strategic calculus has been...

    Is Iran Invasion coming !

    Superpower is not a relative term, it's an epithet coined by cold war observer who couldn't come to terms with the obscene concentration of military power. Iranians only need to step inside neighboring Iraq or Afghanistan to have their superpower Epiphany. During the cold War years there was a...

    Is Iran Invasion coming !

    I doubt even if you count all the artillery rounds, the figure would come to lakhs. I cannot comment on the quality and accuracy of Iranian missile, so we will wait for them to fire the missiles to find out out (ie if they are allowed to fire).... As far as superpower vs supermen, supermen are...

    Is Iran Invasion coming !

    Missiles numbering in lakhs?... Sure you are not exaggerating?

    Is Iran Invasion coming !

    Americans since the time of the end of the second world War have taken pride in the fact that despite the concentration of the greatest fighting force ever put together, since the Napoleon's France, they have not deployed this fiersome fighting force for world conquest. This benign benevolence...

    Is Iran Invasion coming !

    Unlike Iraq and most of ME(with the exception of Turkey) Iran has a deep rooted tradition of democratic opposition (The anti shah movement was led by a democratic opposition, but later got hijacked by Khomeinist). Depending on how quickly the regime (supported undoubtedly by IRGC) falls, its...

    Is Iran Invasion coming !

    Yes it would have been good for us if Iran had chosen to play safe. Iranians became cocky in the ME. They played for total control, plus the deal with Obama administration lulled them into a false sense of confidence that US had acquiesced their new role in the region. But then Iranians expected...

    Is Iran Invasion coming !

    Only one way to know :) US can use stealth platform to take out the S-300 or overwhelm their Ad with hundreds of tomahawks.

    Is Iran Invasion coming !

    Saudis and the Gulf states will be happy to bank roll the invasion, not that US cannot finance it by its own means (but Trump is good at extorting money from the Arab sheikhs.)
