Well seems to me that as every body is saying it would be an attack on sites not an invasion.

I think US tried to find chemical weapons as they failed in doing so they desperately attacked.

It is very true that the zonist group is a cowardly dogs that sniffs and spy first and after cheating they pursue with a knif at your back.

Time will tell what will happen, but for QATAR lolz i can only pray.

Lets wait and hope that Israel and America attack on Iran, Atleast then there will be no more threads on QL about attacking / not attacking thing..

and I hope that UN/US and other countries will not let Iran do make Nuclear Weapons,

Iran is a friend of the Zionist Lobby? Wtf? That has to be the funniest thing I've ever read on here.

It doesn't matter what may or may not have gone on before, it doesn't matter that there are Jews in Iran, if Israel believes it is under threat and Iran doesn't bow to politicial pressure, Israel will undoubtedly launch some kind of strike on Iranian Nuclear Facilities.

It has already shown its intent. Do people think all these Iranian Nuclear Scientists keep spontaneously combusting?

I don't think it will happen because it's not written in the Bible, but it's written that all the enemy of Israel will attack her & but she prevail because as God promised to the Israel like what God did to move out his people from Pharaoh.Who against Israel are against God & the enemy of Israel are the enemy of God!Alelujah!

There is a bigger proportion of Jews in Iran's population, Iran is friend of Zionist Lobby, they will never attack on Israel... Iran is present on the map only to threat Arab Countries, so that America can earn some free money, plus get a room in Gulf, that's all..

When Israel wanted to attack, they did it on Lebanon.. Now if they wanted on Iran also. they would've done it. DRAMA!

"Two minutes over Baghdad" which showed how Israel bombed Iraq nuclear facilities without any casualty to their fighter jets.

They are planning to attack & destroy Iranian sites in coming summer as per latest news.

Let's see which country is next.

In November 2003 a Scottish newspaper claimed that Israel "warned that it is prepared to take unilateral military action against Iran if the international community fails to stop any development of nuclear weapons at the country's atomic energy facilities.

In December 2005, a British newspaper claimed that the Israeli military had been ordered by then Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to plan for possible strikes on uranium enrichment sites in Iran.

in March 2006, based on Israeli intelligence estimates that Iran would be able to build nuclear weapons in two to four years. It was claimed that the special forces command was in the highest stage of readiness for an attack (state G) in December of the following year.

On 8 May 2006, Israeli Vice Premier Shimon Peres said in an interview with Reuters that "the president of Iran should remember that Iran can also be wiped off the map.

The conclusion 9 yrs so far and nothing happened and nothing will happen.

@Zeegee - You seem to be confusing an attack on a nuclear plant with an invasion. Nobody is going to be invading Iran. It will be a surgical strike, nothing more.

Of course Iran may try and retaliate but it's options are limited although they could be sending some missiles over our way.

I would have thought that removing Iran's Nuclear Capabilities would be in everybody's interests though and especially those of Qataris.

suddenly everyone here is a war expert. History tells us all that every country before it was attacked talked big yet was was demolished by the US.

-Iran wants to wipe out Israel off the planet and having nuclear capabilities is no joke to anyone. (Arabs and westerners)

-Israel means USA directly

-Iran means Hamas and Hizbulla

-Russia and China are no fools and will never engage in wars. Their biggest role would be selling Iran outdated weapons.

What will happen?

Let's wait and see

dam :O , it means that the chemical weapons that were sold to iraq was secreatly sold to iran in the past and that is why israel and us are chasing for it, attacked iraq for that and now after iran.

The problem is the Zonist group which is responsible for killing, you guys can easily see iraq and in afghanistan

what had happened.

soilders have been killed on daily basis in afghanistan just because they are trying to occupy the minerals in that part of the world which is supposed to be called the grave yard for the infidals.

yes redtreble that's what I think,what about "Iran contra scandle "

The Shah of Iran , who was chased from power in 1979, had bought plenty of weapons, before his departure, in the US, for roughly 18 billion US Dollars. Amongst them 80 warplanes of the type F 14.

The Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran and his government needed them badly, after Saddam Hussein attacked Iran in 1980. However the US government had imposed an arms embargo after the occupation and hostage taking in the US embassy in Tehran in late 1979. So urgently needed spare parts were not for sale in the US for Tehran.

To the surprise of the US government, this embargo was without any effect. The Iranians were helped by Israel. Israel did not care a bit about the embargo. Money did the talking. They saw a chance to make extra profits and keep the Iran-Iraq war going, two of it’s enemies fighting against each other.

Israel regarded Iraq as the bigger enemy, whilst the European countries and the US thought otherwise.

After the Mossad had given the green light, the arms deals were negotiated by an Israeli general by the name of Avraham Bar-Am, famous for his brutality against Arabs in the Lebanon-war.

Participating in these arms deals was allegedly a German arms dealer group comprising Hans Bihn, Hans Schneider, Hermann Moll and Ralph Kopka. They were well connected to a former top general of the German army, Bundeswehr, by the name of Albert Schnez.

On the Israeli side it was a Ron Harel, acting for Israeli Military industries (IMI), his representative in Germany was a Henry Kamaniecky, Israeli with a German passport. The Iranians were represented by a Abdolfath Katibi and a German by the name of Stephan Kaiser.

The US, after they found out, protested, however they themselves later on sold weapons via Israel into Iran in 1986, it was afterwards called the "Iran Contra Scandal". The profits from these deals were used to support a right wing terror group, fighting the government of Nicaragua, called the Contras., involved was the Pentagon with it’s colonel Oliver North, the CIA and the arms dealer and international crook .

Israel will probably attack Iran with the blessing and covert support of the USA.

As for response. Iran does not have the capability to do anything major. To those who keep mentioning Iraq and Afghanistan - this is not an invasion. It will be just a surgical strike using planes and possibly Tomahawks. So , no personnel will be on the ground or in danger.

@Zeegee84 - You need to read up on the nuclear non-proliferation treaty which Iran signed up to and Israel didn't.

@Cryptic-writings - If that's what you think, you are deluded. Check out Operation Opera in 1981.

Hopefully the americans, israelis, the iranians and the puppets inbetween know and understand and will realize where they are heading and come to their senses before getting on the road to killings and suffering for the innocent people who will be caught inbetween this crazy idiots. One expected that lessons would have been learnt from the past escapades in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc

obviously, don't take it so light like iraq and afghanistan, its a totally different part of the world.

If Israel goin a make this mistake it would be its biggest mistake in history and yes it will obviously have an impact on QATAR has no self defence system instead of relying on US forces to protect it.

and as iran have already told that it will hit all american basis in the gulf then you can understand the situation.

when israel and america stockpile nuclear weapon then its always ok

but when muslim countries develop such things it is always threat and illegal

time will tell if US and Israel attacked iran , trust me there would be big numbers jumping in and as expected it would start world war III.
