Re: Netanyahu demands ‘red line’ to stop Iran’s nuclear programme

Would any states come to the rescue of Iran? Even within Iran there are many moderates who may even support a removal of Ahmeddinijad (sic)

Iran is a country that has been in a cold war with the U.S for more than 30 years. It is the country that has built the formidable Hizbullah. It is the country that downed a U.S drone by jamming its signals. In 2007 it captured a group of special British forces. Iran has been preparing for war with Israel and the U.S for the last decade. Anyone that underestimates Iran does so at its peril. The strength of Israel is also hyped up. Israel is not as formidable as it was in 1967. In 1973 it effectively lost the war with Egypt, but U.S pressure forced Egypt to stop. In 1982 it fought with Lebanon and occupied the country for about a decade until it was forced out. In 2006 Israel fought with Hizbullah but was caught by surprise at the resistance and eventually realised it was not going to win and retreated.
