Iran US War

War does not start with the first gunshot. The US and the Islamic Republic of Iran are now in an increasingly heated “Cold War”. This is a collection site for information and my opinions. Conclusions such as they are will be posted elsewhere.

    The Conservative Independent: Possible U.S. Military Initiatives Against the State of Iran

    The Conservative Independent: "Possible U.S. Military Initiatives Against the State of Iran

    Scenario 1: The United States initiates a series of air strikes, that would include combined cruise missile and smart bomb technology, at selected nuclear facilities in Iran. American Special Forces follow closely with specific targeted land sorties. And Americans and Iranians die.

    Scenario 2: In conjunction with the United States, Israel launches a massive air strike at specific Iranian nuclear development facilities, targeted for them by American Spy Satellite surveillance, and ground intelligence data obtained by Special Ops. And Americans and Iranians die.

    Scenario 3: Israel initiates a limited target air strike against Iranian nuclear facilities, followed rapidly by a more intense series of air strikes carried out by the American air force. These two air attacks are immediately followed up by a series of Special Forces ground attacks intended as a mopping up operation. And Americans and Iranians die.

    There is little doubt that all of these possible scenarios can, indeed, deliver an immediate crippling blow to the Iranian nuclear weapons program. What they don’t take into account, however, is the political and strategic fall-out from such actions."
