The main factor to be considered is if Iran starts to trade in a different currency and also how threatening their presence becomes to Israel..
If they are going to attack, I think 2008 will definitely be the year. There are too many facts the current U.S administration needs to consider... At this time its all bluff and war games and political muscle being tensed.. Also if you compare Iran to Iraq.. there are huge differences as you can see in population and total Area. So attacking Iran is definitely not an easy option.. The current U.S administration is losing popularity twice as fast as any other Middle Eastern or communist country.. So gaining support will be extremely crucial in countering Iran's growing power in the region.. facts speak for themselves.
Iran total Area: 1,648,195, km²
Population: 70,472,846³ (2006 est.)
$610 billion (2006)

Iraq total Area: 438,317 km² (2006 est.)
Population: 26,783,3834
GDP (2006) $89.8 Billion
That is a matter of opinion. Some people think yes because there are terrorists there but you have to think about all the innocent people there being harassed by the terrorists, so I'd have to say no.
Unlikely. While they could damage the US, they could not destroy any large part. The US on the other hand could glass Iran without seriously depleting our weapons.
It really comes down to acceptable loss. On 9/11 the US lost a great number of people to a terrible terrorist act. That act did not use weapons of mass destruction. We responded by overthrowing an unfriendly regime and have occupied that country for over seven years.
The response that the people of the US would demand in retaliation for a nuclear/chemical weapon attack would be terrible indeed.
Never. America knows very well that war with Iran, killing many on both sides to takeplace.
No president in America does not risk a war with Iran.
I don't think so.
100% but i don't think till 2013
Bomb Iran was created in 1980.
"Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb, Iran." (John McCain - 2008)
never
Because they thought that the U.S was going to bomb them so they went and hid in the Vietnam spider holes.
There are two questions here. Why does Iran need a nuclear bomb? -- Iran does not NEED a nuclear bomb. Iran WANTS a nuclear bomb since having a nuclear weapon would, in Iran's view, lessen the advantage that Israel has over its neighboring Islamic States. It would also be a symbol of Iranian power and a projection of Iranian influence and civilization. When will Iran have a nuclear bomb? -- The timeline for Iran gaining a nuclear weapon is unclear. It is likely that Iran will have sufficient fissile material to make a bomb by late 2015 or early 2016. However, the Israeli Mossad has performed a number of operations aimed at delaying the creation of such a weapon.
Frontline - 1983 Iran and the Bomb 11-10 was released on: USA: 13 April 1993
Doubtful.
they throw bomb to other country
Iran wants to be big man in the neighborhood. Not yet.___________________________________________Iran never declared that it needs a nuclear bomb and never tried to have it. Iran; as declared; is building up a peaceful nuclear power program.
No Iran have not made it in 2010.
I don't believe that Iran should have nuclear power because they threaten to bomb the USA if they do get nuclear power.
Iran and America since 1979 have no relationship.
