Britain Plots To Attack Iran

I doubt it..

Too much is going on in Iran at the moment to waste an attack.

Goals can be reached in other ways.

 

An Egyptian presidential hopeful says Iran is not an enemy state in the Middle East and Cairo will try to establish closer relations with Tehran in the future.


“We should not label Iran as an enemy state in the region,” Amr Moussa told the German-language Swiss daily Tages-Anzeiger in an interview published on Monday.

He added that Egypt is determined to establish closer ties with Iran and has sought to promote reconciliation between the Palestinians as a mediator.

Commenting on Egypt's relations with Israel, Moussa said Cairo views the Sinai Peninsula in a special light and past agreements with Tel Aviv in this regard must be changed.

Last April, Head of Egypt's ruling military council Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi praised Iran's 'excellent' position in the Muslim world, and expressed hope that Tehran-Cairo relations could be increased.

"We hope that the upcoming stage would be a stage of special bilateral relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran, serving the best of both countries," Tantawi told the German magazine, Der Spiegel.

Iran severed ties with Egypt after Cairo signed the 1978 Camp David Accords with the Israeli regime and offered asylum to Iran's deposed dictator, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi

 

Germany is the primary exporter defying sanctions to Iran but they are coming around in the face of the obvious.

 

Wrong... Germany read the IAEA report and declines to publicly discuss its contingencies... as they should

 

Not with the current political situation in the UK government itself - most definately NOT. It would be politically impossible for the current UK government to go ahead with, without it actually bringing the UK government itself down.

 

Former Mossad chief is warning too, in the process angering Israeili government.

Der Spiegel ran a big article on it this weekend.

 

Why are you people talking about war? There won't be a war, there'll be a surgical strike by israeli air force with logistics provided by US, Brittons and other states - and Iranian nuclear weapon program will be set back another 20 years. simple, really...

 

Actually, the Israelis will have to hit 22 nuclear facilities .. It will be a bloodbath.

The Israelis, JINSA and AIPAC are really pushing an attack.. just as they did with Iraq.

 

I hope that Germany is producing enough Raps oil to meet Greek demand:

Replacing Iranian oil with Germany oil is actually a pretty smart move for Germany, assuming that Germany can pump 400,000 barrels per day underneath Berlin.

but the lack of new discoveries in the country could hinder future production growth

Israel didn't push an attack on Iraq.

 

What's your plan then? Let Iran build the bomb?

 

Yes.. REMEMBER the PNAC letters from 1998 and Bibi's Clean Break Strategy.. and all the spin coming out of JINSA and AIPAC?

Bibi was announcing how Israel would get an oil pipeline from Kirkuk even before the war.

 

Such a heavily black and white remark is evidence enough to prove that your claim is wrong, considering that:

The neocons and Israeli support for the war We know that the Iraq invasion was pushed forcefully by the neo-conservatives in the Bush Administration. Many of the neocons are Jewish, though not all of them. But when it comes to US Mideast policy, there is virtually no disagreement among them in relying on a powerful Israel as a key component. This, in and of itself, would fly in the face of the notion that Israel and Israeli interests were completely removed from the decision to invade Iraq.

You doubt what? Britain is a part of NATO. When has Britain ever shirked a duty with regard to NATO.

How about never?

What goals can be reached.......and in what "other" ways.

Please be specific.

 

That is silly. Britain was just recently a willing member of a coalition to take down another rogue regime in Libya.

The facts are very clear.

 

If we attack Iran, it will probably eventually spark WW3.

 

Ah......but word games like "war"......or "invasion" conjur up images of the war the left loves to hate......Iraq. LOL

I absolutely agree. If it comes to it, it will be a coalition and it will be surgical strikes utilizing specialized munitions.........

Far better than the glass parking lot makers in Israels arsenal.

 

You weren't aware that Israel has named 22 targets.

 

That was an entirely different situation to the one in Iran. If it came to assisting a popular and organised revolution by the people of Iran with air strikes to prevent the oppressive regime from using overwhelming military might against its own people (to protect civilians, with full UN approval), that would be a significant change of circumstances, and the UK could get involved in a similarly limited capacity to the one in Libya. Without a significant change of circumstances, the UK government is very unlikely to get involved in a war in Iran.

 

That would be nice. Dutch:

Do you think it will stop there in Iran?

I don't. But they have learned something in Libya, so perhaps it will depend on the reaction of the people of Iran.

 

Not specifically no..........but it really isn't important.....

Google has released satellite imagery of the targets. LOL

It's a new day and age............

According to Israel it would take an extensive air campaign, probably including more than a thousand sorties over several weeks, to increase the certainty of destroying the bulk of Iran's known nuclear infrastructure.

But Israel does not have enough warplanes and refuel(*)ing capabilities to sustain such an intensive cam(*)paign against such distant targets over a prolonged period of time, especially if the countries located between Israel and Iran (Jordan, Syria, Turkey, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia) object to Israeli use of their air(*)space, as they undoubtedly would..

Remember Tehran is 900 miles from Tel Aviv.

 

I disagree. It wasn't a different situation but I'm afraid that ship has sailed. The Green revolution was a golden opportunity to solve both the nuclear aspirations of Iran as well as to help the student movement remove the shackles of oppression from the insane fundamentalist regime..........and the Obama, UK, and the rest of NATO countries squandered the opportunity preferring to stand by in shameful hand wringing inaction watching as people were slaughtered in the streets.
