Guest guest Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Why is US not attacking Iran presently ? There seems to be some reasons. Understanding this will be helpful. Possible factors: 1. Logical factors 2. Waiting as presently they have some advantage in delaying attack 3. Presently some factors preventing their attack What could it be ?

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 1. first off, the US is overstretched militarily...takes time to get things organized 2. have to figure out to where attack, where to direct airstrikes, how maximize their damage, etc 3. have to ramp up propaganda machine..gotta make everyone scared of iran 4. work on getting a security council resolution that makes it look like we have a veneer of legality when we attack 5. contingency plans...what happens if iran closes strait of hormuz? can we guarantee a supply of oil to ourselves and our allies, how can we make $$ off of this, etc etc and so forth >rvijay <rvijay07 >Apr 11, 2006 8:39 PM > > Reasons for not attacking Iran Presently. > >Why is US not attacking Iran presently ?

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 I agree, and it is very plausable, but could Israel afford the combined wrath of the rest of the Arab nations?I think it would definately be the US pushing Isreal in to attack.

In terms of propaganda and security council resolution, if this is due to peak oil and not much power left for other Countries, why even bother getting them involved ?
