On The Brink of WW3?

Question

You may or may not have seen the news on Iran's recent missile testing capable of reaching Israel.

I remember reading once about Nostrodamus' predictions, one of them being the war to end the world will come from the middle-east. Alot of people thought that was the Iraq war but its clear they dont pose that kind of a threat, but Iran are 'allies' with Russia which could mean a world war if anything happens.

What's the big thing about Iran and Israel, where is the conflict? whats it over? surely not for territory because Iran is alot bigger than Israel, is it because their allies are the US and UK?

Answer 1

Israel has obtained nuclear capability and this worries all the other countries in the region, since there are laten and outright hostilities between Israel and the other countries in the middle east.

Iran is trying to play 'catch up' in the same way that the US and USSR did in the Cold War.

Answer 2

There's been bad blood between Iran and the U.S. since Iran deposed the Shah who was installed as a puppet leader (deposing a democratically elected governmen)t by the Americans.This put the kybosh on control of Iran's vast oil industry.America never forgives or forgets and has been demonising Iran ever since and biding it's time for the right opportunity to get it's own back.Iran in turn backs Hezbolla in supporting it against what it sees as the illegal occupation of Palestine and to p**s off the yanks.Israel has nuclear arms and has no desire to see anyone else near by with them but unlike past strikes on M.E. Arab countries Iran is a different kettle of fish and the usual blind eye isn't being turned by the U.S. as it's bogged down too much already to get caught up in helping out it's favourite nation especially with Russia and China not playing ball lately on other political fronts.So what we're left with is a Mexican stand off.Let's hope no one's gun goes off accidentally,eh?

Answer 3

all comes back to America , they have vetoed any UN plans on isreal (they need the votes in america ) and isreal is the only nuclear power in the M.E.

so they scales drop heavily in there favour but they use this for their own advantage.attack any and all who they see as a threat .breaking all the international laws in the process.

Iran doesn't want to be told what to do they're independent.

long way away from a war though I think

Answer 4

Iran has no allies, Israel goes crying to its big brother the USA and hides behind it.  Iran can't afford a war they will get creamed.  Iran is doing the same thing Israel does, posturing but Iran can't get away with it.  They have their backs up against the wall being dictated to by others can't do this can't do that oh but Israel has neutron mines planted on its borders.  I personally couldn't give a c**p about the middle east and Israel but i think Iran is being bullied into making a first strike, any false move Israel will cream them of course aided by their big brother.

Answer 5

If bush is in office then were are on the brink because he's the one who started all this issues

Answer 6

Nostradamus is not to be trusted.  He did not have 100% accuracy.  You need to check out Biblical prophecy to understand what is happening in the Middle East.  The Bible clearly tells us what is going on there right now, and what will continue to go on.  You might like to check into this website:

Yes, the world is headed for frightening times..........but for those who know their God, they have nothing to fear.  I wish you the very best, my friend.

Answer 7

Iran's not at war with Israel.  All the posturing of Iran right now is because of Bush.  Bush has referred to Iran as an evil empire for years now and has sparked Iran's need to feel it must protect itself.

The American position of always backing Israel has also sparked anger in Iran because of Israel's continuous war with the Palestinians and Lebanese.  Remember, the US has vetoed, in the UN, every resolution against activities of Israel.  29 times in all.  The US gives no quarter to the rest of the Middle East in favour of Israel at every step.  The UK/US toppled a democratic government in Iran in 1953 over oil.  They backed up the Shaw of Iran keeping democracy out of Iran in so doing.  The US had many advisers on the ground in the 80s and fed Saddam spy satellite information that allowed for the gassing of 3,000 Iranian defenders on Iranian soil during the, partially American financed invasion of Iran by Saddam in the 80s.

And, today Bush continues to create hatred toward Iran for no reason at all.

Iran has suffered all lot from America and has every right to promote its defense.
