Nobody will attack Iran's nuclear facilities. There will be a huge health disaster all over the region. Arabs, Pakistanis as well as Indians will be in danger of getting infected by the spread of radioactive in air. There are enough smart people out there to prevent an attack against Iran's facilities.

@PaulHartXYZ Maybe it will become a larger war. I dont think Syria and Turkey will stay still. Also the oil price will rise up becuz Iran is gonna damage oil supply threw the staight of hormuz. America shouldnt alway do what Israel wants. Greetings from turkey. Nice Report 5 *****

I think Mr. Hughes is living in the twilight zone. He can go ahead and tell Iran's potential adversaries what they want to hear in questioning their defensive capabilities. However the REAL military experts like Admiral Mullins have never underestimated Iran's strength. Also Mr. Hughes seems to think that Iran will just roll over should they be subjected to an air attack by Israel or the US. He ignores the consequences of a full scale Iranian counter strike on the forces in the region. Oh well!

Iranian ZU-23 seen to be seriously updated and i like their new KS-19 100 mm anti aircraft gun.

I am sorry.I meant "consequence" instead of

"cause".Is's my hard fault.

The USA tries to act proportionally to iran's actions.However,if look more broadly, it seems the USA can't control the world and especially the dangerous rising power of china.That's cause of the soviet collapse.

[kotovsergey]

That's correct.

Besides,there are many efficient tools,ways and methods to reach the goal such as economic pressure, regime change, reflection governing(intelligence scam,giving false intelligence to rulers in order to make them to make wrong, unadequet decisions, rotten basis of decisin-making), poison in all aspects as you said, and so on.

Iran is a sovereign nation for over 300 years. The double standard and hypocrisy that is going on needs to be realized. America's allies, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Pakistan, are all where terrorists come from, and travel even to Iraq to commit violent acts against Shias. Salafi and Wahhabi Islamic teachings preach that Shia's (countries like Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Bahrain are majorly Shias) are heretics and infidels and should be murdered. The threat is from SUnni Arab Wahhabi's, not Shia
