#1 Iff America and the world does NOT give the Mullahs the recognition or concessions they want, e.g. Radical-controlled Iran is a "great nation/power" and entitled to nukes, the Mullahs will opt for war. THE MULLAHS WILL GO ON "PUSHING IT" UNTIL THE WORLD GIVES IN OR AMERICA INVADES, which in the latter's case will be countered by the usual anti-US aymmetric war, aka "People's/
Guerilla War", vv "the BASIJ" People's Militias; and of course international "brinkmanship" btwn the US-West vs Russia-China. Becuz of the location of both Iran's major oil fields + ENERGY = WMD complexes, Iran will prob try to initially limit any US-Allied milaction to the beaches or littorals, wid a main defense line alongst Iran's natural mountain ranges - with the USA in Afghanistan, Iran's MLR/Logisitics will likely run thru Central Asia and Russia-China. Iff the Iranians continue to "go for broke", i.e. push and antagonize Dubya, the Euros, and the UNO, WAR WID IRAN MAY TAKE PLACE THIS SUMMER OR YEAR. Dubya has an ace in that Russia-China both know Iran's regional and geopol ambitions work against their interests, not just America's. STAY ARMED.
