Latest iran Frequently Asked Questions:
I think we can all agree there will be a war against Iran but who do you believe will be involved on both sides. Obviously Britain, USA and Israel will be involved for the allies but who else and who will back Iran if anyone. Will the possible nuclear threat of Iran cause nations to act or not?
Answer:Hopefully it will be avoided, but in the end if we do I believe it will be the USA with Britain, and Israel, with Iran being backed by China and North Korea.. however I don't believe we will act if Iran develops a working nuclear bomb, which is why Iran is trying so hard to get one.. but that's just my opinion... good question..
do u think that the US will invade iran anytime soon..?? if so, do u believe that its the right thing to do? ahmadinajad says if the US invades iran... iran will invade kuwait.. although kuwait has good relations with both countries.. and man iranis and americans live here.. thoughts?
Answer:Let's hope not. I put in just short of 32 years in the military and work for them now as a civilian. Trust me, the military form the top down does not want to go into another war. We have spent entirely too much time worrying about that country. We have more on our hands than the military can handle now. If we invade IRAN, why would we do it? They have not "invaded" another country like IRAQ did. While I do not want to see any more countries to have nukes, what gives us the right to dictate to them, well, it is good for us, but not good for you. We are not the world police and we have to quit acting like it. If a country asks us to come in and help them, fine, otherwise, stay the heck out. And yes, I know, the killing continues in Africa and in South America and in Asia, and in Europe and in North America and the sicknesses, etc. that are killing people by the thousands daily. So the basic answer, is we will not "invade" them. However, we might just bomb them a "little." So quick thinking of this depressing subject and go watch football or basket ball or take up crochet. When you get old enough, run for public office and make a change. Your vote will and does count!!!
Iran (and not just Ahmadinejad) insists it isn't trying to develop nuclear weapons and only wants to use its nuclear program peacefully. So why is the United States government in such a panic about Iran wanting to build nuclear weapons? Is there evidence that Iran is lying? What is it?
Answer:The evidence is = they are the second largest oil exporter in the world. yummy oil... And they still hold a grudge against the U.S. for 1. having CIA installed a puppet dictator in their country back in the 1950s. 2. armed Iraq to attack Iran in the 1980s. The war lasted eight years. Caused millions death. 3. directly jumped in and destroyed several Iranian naval vessels during Iraqis' retreating from Iran soil 4. shot down Iranian commercial plane by "mistake". 5. purposely mistranslated Iranian president's "Israel regime(government) needs to be changed" into "Iran wants to wipe Israel off map" 6. called Iran a "terrorist country" 7. making up daily propaganda against Iran which made average Americans think Iran is the "evil enemy" of the world... while in fact Iran never attacked anyone in the last 500 years.
Prior to the 1979 revolution is when I believe they were in good standing, correct? What did Iran do to serve the US during this time?
Answer:In 1953 the U.S. helped restore Reza Pahlavi as the Shah of Iran. In return he crushed Iran's Communist Tudeh Party. For U.S. support they allowed them to establish sites in Iran to monitor the Soviet Union.
The prime minister of Israel was rebutting what iran has been claiming, that the holocaust never happened today in the united nations conference. Why would iran want to say that, besides the fact that they hate the jews? If they can prove or convince people that it didn't happen, what will they be able to achieve as a result?
Answer:Because it's a raciest!!
