Why America is Reluctant in Attacking Iran?
It has been a buzz for last couple of years if America will attack Iran. So many different perceptions have been given about this issue. I came out with the following ten reasons that why America is reluctant in attacing Iran.
1- American Oil ships coming from Saudi Arabia and Emirate states pass by Iranian border at Mehrakan and Bastak. Arabian Sea at this exact location becomes very narrow. The width of this passage turns merely couple miles. Iran can easily halt American Oil Shipment at that location. America does not at any case would like to face this situation.
2- Iran has formed its own proxies sustaining them with effective arsenal. For instance; Hizbullah, which can hit Israel at any time from other regions than Iran.
3- American forces have been stuck in Afghanistan and Iraq. Iran is in between these 2 countries. It is going to be unusually tough for American forces to take on three neighboring countries simultaneously.
4- Iran has diffused its military throughout the country. An air strike can’t wipe off things that easily as been propagated.

5- Inside Iran America wants to create internal chaos which they have been doing recently. They are applying cost and benefit philosophy. The cost of creating internal revolution is much cheaper than attacking Iran and at the same time the US can get the desired benefit.
6- Iranian people are very nationalists unlike the divided Afghanis and Iraqis. Foreign invasion will bring them together and the US will face more resistance than what they faced in Iraq and Afghanistan.
7- The US unwillingly wants to keep the only Shiite regime in the world. They want to make sure that there are always possibilities of contradictions among Muslims themselves.
8- American presence in Saudi Arabia and Emirates is to protect them from Al-Qaeda and Iran. In case Iran is gone and Al-Qaeda no more a serious threat, Americans will have no excuse to stay over there.
9- Obama has been elected on the note of finishing off wars. Starting another war will create vulnerable situations for democrats inside the US.
10- Current economic situations can’t handle the pressure of third war.

US is a bankrupt global bully and a coward. It only attacks small defenceless nations that can’t hit back. Any “attack” on Iran a 3000 year old civilization with a well developed national identity would the the swan song for US. Iran has a strong military, 80 million people and a land mass of 1.64 million sq kilometers, not to mention defacto control over the Persian Gulf oil routes. Americans are bullies and thugs but not totally insane.
But still Iran cannot stand before US, Even if there is full scale war, Iran cannot stand more than a month.
things are very much change as compare to iraq and afghanistan, Iran is no doubt a more serious bone of contention for USA. Its a very difficult job to involve in direct contest of warfare so USA is applying its other armaments like CIA which are working for the hindrance ,as the elections can be a valid proof but USA has to find some more illegally legible ways to interfere in iran and move the caravan towards destabilization,which is not as bright as in case of Pakistan.
why dont you people an eleventh reason which seems more solid than ten you gave!
that infact iran poses no threat to america and that iran is secretly helping americans in afghanistan and iraq war!!!
why cant you people se that clear fact,known by the whole world!
why cant you see that india helped built iran the chah bahar sea port,from which its planned that nato troops in afghanistan will get supply,if and when pakistani route becomes unsafe
Hezzabollah is no match to the Isreali’s, Not even 1% of Isreal’s Might.
Brave Hizbollah has defeated Barbaric Israel twice.
First in July 2000, when Barbaric Israel was decisively defeated and was thrown out of Lebanon.
Secondly, during the Barbaric Israel’s terror attack on Lebanon in 2008, when it bombarded Lebanon for 33 days. Brave Hizbollah Mujahiddens defeated Barbaric Israel and ejected it out of Lebanon.
Same way, the Kashmiri Mujahideens are defeating your Hindu terrorists day by day.
Ahmed
Simple Logic, If the Hezabollah have defeated the Israel, there should be no country called Israel now, the land should be occupied by the Palestenians by now……
Good Joke about Hindu terrorist, If the Kashmiri mujahideens are defeating day by day they should have occupied atleast 10% of IOK by this time. I dont think that is the case.
Remember we are a Billion, your mujahideens cant even think about it. They can stage bomb blasts, If one bomb goes off in India ten will go off in Pakistan, If you support for Kashmir Mujahideens, India will support for Balochistan Mujahideens.
An eye for an eye…… Ask your Mujahideens to try hard day by day.. we are ready and prepared.
Defeat of Barbaric Israel & Slumdog India.
Hizbollah has defeated Barbaric Israel in terms of its ejection out of Lebanon. It does not mean that Barbaric Israel would immediately cease to exist, just because of one or two defeats. But the final defeat of Genocidal Israel will come sooner rather than later & the very same defeat will come to your Slumdog India also.
Kashmir Mujahideens will also defeat your Slumdog India in years to come. It is a game of patience and is only a matter of time.
You talk about being ONE BILLION, and because of this “Logic”, you cannot be defeated ?? Well the Brave Vietnamese were not even a few millions and their totally untrained army under Brave Ho Chi Minh defeated the biggest Democratic terrorist of the world, Micky Mouse America, whose population currently stands at 300 million, out of which, 299 millions are hard core Gringo terrorists.
If 300 million Gringo terrorists of Micky Mouse America can be defeated by just 10,000 untrained Brave Vietnamese, then ONE Billion Gandhi terrorists can also be defeated by 10,000 Mujahideens of Kashmir. Regarding Balochistan, there is no doubt about the fact that all the Hindu terrorism over there is being orchestrated by the Gandhi terrorists of Slumdog India, who terrorize all their neighbours & will continue to do so until firmly defeated.
Dont forget that LTTE terrorists of Srilanka were created by Gandhi terrorist, Indra Gandhi and were nurtured by the Gandhi Terrorist-II, Rajiv Gandhi. Slumdog India is a land of Gandhi terrorists and Gandhi War Criminals. Your Mahatma Gandhi was also a Fascist just like all Hindus. Read this :

An eye for an eye. Our brave Mujahideens will take all your Gandhi terrorist eyes out and we will conquer your Slumdog India in the future. It is a Prophetic Prognostication, which our Honourable Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) told us 1400 years ago. Read this Urdu site for 5 such Hadith :

Dear hardcoreindian,
Welcome to the site.About Iran’s standing against US , unlike Afghanistan and Iraq , US has no launching ground for offensive.What amximum can it do?Airstrikes?Missile strikes?But how would it consolidate its ground positions?Can it go into Iran?Can it control Iran’s capability to strike US bases in Bahrain,Qatar,Saudi Arabia?Iraq and Afghanistan?Will the Hurmuz Strait be open for Oil traffic?What about the reaction of Shia population of Bahrain,Iraq,Pakistan,Lebanon,Syria,Turkey,UAE?
Lets hope things are settled amicably otherwise it could be the Armagadon whose mention is in your holy books too.By the way ,I will be very ineterested to hear about it as per your believes.
As for Hezbollah , Israel got the taste of its first ever military defeat.It had to fire 4 of its Generals who were publicly held responsible for the defeat of IDF.Israel got the biggest dent when its elite SOU made an attempt to kidnap Hassan Nasarullah,leader of Hizb.That was trap and information of Hassan Nasrullah was deliberately leaked to allure Isrelis.All 200 of them were killed.Mind you that was the same unit which rescued Israeli hostages from Palestinian hijackers at ANTIBE,Uganda.They are ranked as the best trained special operations unit in the world.The tunnel network of hizb could not be breached and only 25 % of Hizb’s capability was destroyed.But today Hizb has better rockets which have longer ranges and far better efectiveness.But in the end I would say , war is not good because no one wins in the end!
Let us all hope that Americans are not stupid to be pulled into another GLUE TRAP.
Thanks for your greetings. Let me answer your points one by one.
US is having Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan as launching ground for Iran, Do any of these countries have any guts to say no to US? I dont think so.
FYI US is having 12 Air craft carriers, with that they can block all sea routes without any great problem.
They can push in the ground army from all sides, IRAQ, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Turkey, Afganistan, Pakistan are all dancing dolls to the US.
For attacking the US bases in Bahrain,Qatar,Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Afghanistan one should have finest Airforce in the world.
US have 4000 fighter aircraft, Iran have 359, Iran not even an match for Pakistan which has 470 aircraft, Do Iran have mordern and cutting edge technology than the Americans, I don’t think so.
Iran is the only major country which has higher Shia population in the world, How can the Shia populations reaction affect the Americans? I dont think they even make an impact.
Hey a defeat means what Pakistan suffered in 1971, 50% of its land was seperated and a new nation was born. If the Hezabollah’s have defeated the isrealis then there should be no country called Israel in world map. Is that the case? The Paliestenians are fools like Tibeteans, Nothing could be done about that now.
A small Greek army was able to defeat mighty pershian empire in no time, because of high war tactics and superir training, What is the Probability that the Iranian’s defeating the Americans? The Americans have ICBM, The Irianians have no such missiles or delivery systems, They cant even near 100 miles near US by sea or Air. Even if the tide turns the Iranians way, Iran cannot stand for one small nuke bomb…. It will fall in no time.
“Hezabollah have better rockets and far better effectivness” Hello The military budget of US is 607.0 Billion US $ and do the Hezabollah have ICBM? How foolish like an monkey before a Lion.
US is not ready for another full scale offensive…. Their economy will again plunge if they make wrong moves, The chinese are ready to take America’s position, I dont think the Americans give up that easily.
HCI:
US Army does not have a secure supply line either from Iraq of Afghanistan.Pakistan had already said its part about attacking Iran.When we want to say no we say so.Saudi Arab,UAE and Bahrain already spelled out regrets to ms.clinton on her last visit to ME.that visit wanted to se the prospects of attacking iran.
MOVING ARMIES FROM Neighbors : None of the neighbors will allow US to use its soil for offensive against Iran.Iraq was different and so was Afghanistan.Iran is a fully operational democracy.Its foreign policy is very strong.It enjoys very cordial relations with all its neighbors.It was the first country who sent its envoy to Pakistan and offered fullest support in case of any sanctions against us after the nuclear tests.
High Technology vs Iran and Air Strength comparison:Iran will never use its air force in case of an attack.It has a very strong ground to ground,ground to air and sea to ground missile system with collaboration of china,n. Korea and Russia.All of middle east will be on fire.Shia reaction will not effect US but a lot of countries will have a preasure over them.that preasure will pass over to USA.
defeat: Brits defeated Argentina in Falklands , israel defeated arabs in 67 , iran defeated iraq , ethiopia against Djibouti.winners and loosers both are here.
As for our defeat , its the biggest proof that MA Jinnah’s 2 Nation Theory was so correct.Great to have another Muslim state on the soil of Subcontinent.So now we have two muslim countries instead of just one.But you are our brother and lets live like good neighbors.
Hizb is not an army so its not easy to wipe out a militia.see what talibans are dong in afghanistan.
Micky Mouse America will lose in Iran.
After the devastating defeat of Democratic terrorist America at the hands of lightly armed Brave Talibans in Afghanistan & Brave Mujahideens in Iraq, America has got no sotmach left for any more defeats. Instead, American terrorists will try to destabilize Iran by starting bombing campaigns —— something, which Micky Mouse America and Slumdog India are already doing in Pakistan day and night.
FYI the war in Afghanistan is not Over, The Americans have more bitter experiences in the past eg Korea, Vietnam. They are verywell aware how to tacle the Taliban…. They have $$$$ to do anything they wish, The economy is now on the right track, Even if they cannot wage a full scale war they can create confusions with Black water and CIA.
Defeat? for the sole super power? Buddy they are not going to give up that easily…. The main problem for US is China and Russia as they have invested heavily in Iran, But nothing great that can stop Isreal to attack Iran. The Only advantage that Iran has is OIL. CIA and MOSSAD activities are already aimed at the Iranians, Pray that it should not result in confrontation.
Slumdog India? Even though we are in Slums, We don’t beg like potent Pakistan
Your this message tells me that you live, not in a fools paradise, but in a fools hell. Or perhaps, I can say that you live in a Slumdog hell.
Democratic terrorist Americans knows how to tackle Brave Talibans ?
Well it has been 10 years since DNA (Democratic Nazi America) invaded Afghanistan & it had plenty of time to tackle Brave Talibans. But the miserable defeat of DNA indicates very clearly that DNA does not know how to tackle the Brave Talibans. These are the very same Brave Talibans who defeated & divided Russia and they will do the same with Democratic Nazi America (DNA) and also with Terrorist NATO, which is the biggest terrorist alliance of the world.
If the Gringos have their Terrorist $$$$$$, why could not they win in Vietnam and Korea with their Terrorist $$$$$$ ??
America is the sole super power ?
No.
America is the sole super Nazi of the world.
Let Barbaric Israel tackle Iran and see the consequences & the very same consequences will come to your Slumdog India also, which is the land of Gandhi beggars & Gandhi fakeers.
In 1940, Winston Churchill described your Gandhi as, a half naked, dirty, poor and an uncivilized Gandhi fakeer.
The difference between 1940 and 2010 is that, Now there are atleast 900 Million more Gandhi fakeers in Slumdog India.
I agree with HCI.US will not concede defeat in Afghanistan.And if it leaves in humility,it will leave issues like the British left issues for India and Pakistan to fight over forever.And as per their very correct analysis,we are stupid and we are doing exactly what they want us to do.Sub-Continent was and still is the most prospective and porpsperous region in the world.Unlimited sources of everything.Sunlight,water,fertile land,seaports,four weathers and smart people.But Look at us today.We talk about wiping each other out from the face of the earth.
India cannot wipe Pakistan and Pakistan cannot wipe out India.Thats the fact.We are neighbours and countries cannot change their neighbours.
I’ve spent my best days in the US with Indians.Sikhs/Hindus/Muslims.I never asked a Muslim how is being treated in India nor I spoke to any Sikh about it.We shared each others joys and sorrows.Vinod is my bestest of friend who lives in Iowa.He is from UP Rampur.Major(R)Amul is from Nasik and Popi(Phool Singh)is from Patiala.I will never forget when Vinod gave me money from his College Fee so I can visit Pakistan and see my ailing father.It was an honor for me and my family when they all came and spent their vacations in Pakistan.
There are good guys and bad guys.It is time that both nations act like adults.Extremism is like a thriving colony of termites that is eating India and Pakistan both.
Has anyone ever thought about collective strength of India and Pakistan?Military,Economical and Manpower?Collective production capacity of Goods,Agriculture,Fruits,Dairy,Minerals,IT?As two good ,responsible neighbours we can thrive,prosper and ensure a future of our generations.
One important thing to understand is that Pakistan is the last hope for India and the world where the tide of extremism should be defeated.If Pakistan looses its war against extremism,then the world looses and no ones safe.Open the map and see for your self.
I hope that Allah gives us the wisdom to see the truth and I hope that US leaves this region thru a safe-pasage and face-saving manner.Otherwise this region will suffer for many years to come.
