This was expected. It isn't only the Nuclear installation the US and Israel want to target, but Iran's rocket industry, which probably worries them far more. Information regarding Israeli and US forces in middle east is best gathered from space, once this ability is achieved then the rules of the game is changed. But like a loosing chess game US is caught in an increasingly visicious cycle, where each space to move are blocked. Every move it makes, such as the announcement of BMD with Poland changes the ground rules. If Iran is attacked, Iraq will go up in flame and oil prices hit stratosphere. Russia and China will support Iran by supplying arms, tying the US hands. Whist Russia will ensure that Ukraine and eastern Europe pays heavy price. If Iran isn't attacked both their Nuclear and Rocket forces will grow. Which one do you hold and which one will you let go ? All the while becoming deeply indebted to China and entangled in Afghanistan. US is caught in a position of no win

Don't be so smug, a-hole. That is pretty good for a nation that you call stone age. Just think, one day soon they may be delivering THE Gospel to you, by 'airmail.' Happy glowing in the dark, you idiot.

'Just think, one day soon they may be delivering THE Gospel to you, by 'airmail.''

The USA has about 5,500 nuclear warheads, most of them hydrogen. That would be enough to scrape Iran off the earth and dump it in the Indian ocean. However since Israel has about 200 warheads, I don't think the USA will be using any of them.

You don't have enough of a backbone to become a target so like nearly every other world event, you can sit the glassifaction of Persia out.
