Will the iran nuclear crisis turn into a disaster?
Will their military actually block the Strait of Hormuz?
Will Israel bomb their nuclear facilities?
Why does an oil-rich country need atomic power?
Will a nuclear iran trigger a Sunni nation arms race?

Gday ice dragon.
My thoughts are these ,without leadership change Iran will be at war in this year.
Maybe not full on but my pick is yes short sharp war.
A two different country's in one harsh miss use of internal power and external policy's sees no wins for them.
You will soon get USA are monsters posts here be aware.
But too unfocused one sided view that is, Iran makes its own troubles

The type of rhetoric coming out of Iran, shows there is something very wrong, with their system. Iran is geared up for confrontation at any time, and albeit without fear. Either the regime is mad or they have the martyr syndrome. What ever it is, is going to cause a war, let alone declaring another country obliterated. This facility under a mountain, may even be cause for a bigger bang.

the real crisis..is israel having over 400 bombs
and no oversight..no checks whatso-ever

the real problem..is israelies..and usa complicity

please comment on specific links
not just complain...[about the lump of em

dont complain..about things you dont dare explain

the truth is out there
if your not blided by hate

The best chance anyone has got with Iran is it imploding like Egypt, Syria, and a few others. I think Israel would prefer this too and no doubt there's operations going on to try and instigate it.

An interesting thread so far.
Iran will not be able to do what it wants with so many other countries in the world willing to condone sanctions against it.

All countries these days cannot thrive unless they have a thriving trade for imports and exports, and if this is curtailed, their people's way of life will be adversely affected and this will cause even more discontent internally.
I agree there could be a civil war in Iran soon because of this.

Another interesting question is who is ordering/carrying out these killings of Iran's nuclear scientists/personnel?

Iran's Government are hell-bent on blaming all those 'evil Western Governments' for these murders, but what if they are being planned and carried out by someone from their own country?

Yes interesting and focused refreshing.
OUG mate, too many links, think not one of us can look at that many at once.

Yes internal uprising is about all that is going to delay or stop a strike now. Even an uprising may serve to blind a strike at nuclear facilities. Iran threatening the arabs for upping oil output. I think the regime has got to go as well, to few people with the ultimate power.

Yes finding the responses refreshing and balanced.
We however do not live in that country and under the conditions its people do.
Seems to me both fundamentalist and freedom lovers live there.
And too that as said several times here, it will be decided by who ever controls the country what fate awaits them, good luck freedom lovers.

icedragon,

(Will the iran nuclear crisis turn into a disaster?)
There's no "crisis" - just political brinkmanship at work setting the stage for a possible future event.

(Will their military actually block the Strait of Hormuz?)
That's what the whole Middle East conflict is about. If you can't own the resources outright, then you have to control the supply. This is what the Russia/Georgia conflict over Ossetia was really about - a pipeline that would have bypassed Russia's distribution monopoly from the Caspian by now going directly into Turkey.

(Will Israel bomb their nuclear facilities?)
Why not? They've done it before in Iraq and Syria.

(Why does an oil-rich country need atomic power?)
The US & France convinced the Shah that he needed it and sold them the reactors accordingly. Unfortunately once you have more than two reactors, it becomes uncommercial unless you do your own refining.
Iran expects to be exporting $1billion of electrical power into Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iraq, Pakistan, Nakhichevan, Turkey and Turkmenistan later this year and into Russia next year.

(Will a nuclear iran trigger a Sunni nation arms race?)
Iran is not an Arab state but what Arab states are suggesting this is going to happen?

Ironically, Iran and Israel were once "natural allies" and developed missile systems together.

To gain perspective history should be examined over decades, not over short-term news cycles, particularly those controlled by self-interest groups.

This is looking rather like another "WMD" scenario.

rache that, to me, looks like a press release from a self interested group.
You had to go back to a far different form of government to find common ground .
And while you recommend looking to the past,my fear is this part of the world is intensely interested in just that.
Continuing to look way back to the Crusades to define todays thoughts.
The ak47 in use miss information and lies, will not in the end hide this nations intentional confrontations.

Israel wants a war between the US and Iran, and sadly, all of America's politicians..are more interested in Israel's welfare
than that of American kids.

OUG I actually do read SOME of your links.
Some do not read your, or my posts.
I as you do have my own views
And do not agree with yours or Ajay's re world wide conspiracy's.
But it is, in my view, a good cover for true and real conspiracy's.
And that while such opinions float your boat, they in my view leave a taint on the real truth.
Rather than an evil America, or an even more evil rich controlling class.
Even an Israel controlled world, things I laugh at,a very real fear we are headed for one world government exists.
Current inability to fix the middle east, Africa, world starvation, refugees, may be purposeful neglect to achieve that new world order.
I think OUG you should consider this, some conspiracy's, without doubt, I speak about those lies, are started within the CIA Russian and Chinese Israel and Arab secrete services to blind us.
