That's what I'm worried about. I'm not sure we could stretch to another conflict, especially against a massive standing army.Fittster said:

Do lots of Americans take holidays admiring the Caspian sea from the shores of Iran?Victor McDade said:
America has quite a large Iranian American population. It contains the highest number of Iranians outside of Iran - well over half a million. So yes, I'm sure lots of them do travel to Iran to visit family and friends.
Would the Shah's people risk going back? The majority in the UK don't appear to feel safe doing so.Mermaid said:

Surely only serious, (if it came to a war), if itmwas true. Not so serious if false.
Sometimes the US goes to war even if "it" is not true. This incident should however scare the Saudis into buying more American arms
Iran has been backing insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan for years now, with armament directly from iranian factories.
It isn't really talked about, but I think that the border areas see some action with iranian unconventional forces....more than makes it into janes articles!
Th quds force of the IRGC are the interface between Iranian government and a multitude of nasties.

You sure? Got any proof?It isn't really talked about, but I think that the border areas see some action with iranian unconventional forces....more than makes it into janes articles!

I'm at work now, so nothing to hand.....but.
Afghan....a raid mentioned in a UK apache book (i think) where a convoy coming from the direction of Iran, and fairly close to the border with Iran was intercepted by two apaches and two wokka cabs full of marines.
Iraq...fair few reports in Janes over time with explicit proof of recently manufactured iranian munitions in an article called 'shia strength - iraqi militants adapt to us drawdown' released on 30/09/11. This is part of a work subscription so you'll understand that I can't post it up here.
I should be clear that I feel that what I read is the tip of an iceberg of undetermined size. The Qods force specialise in this kind of activity and members have been captured near the iraqi border with iran. Search daqduq and qais khazali.

Iraq specific....
107mm rockets made by the iranian defence industries organisation?
A picture acquired by the Federation of American scientists of an iranian 240mm rocket, with markings and paperwork showing it to be a Falaq-1.
Detainee interviews detailing cross-border smuggling and training.
C4 chemically matched to iranian C4
Evidence goes back to 2005.
I realise everyone has a different proof threshold, but, from what I have read, I am convinced.

And how many British, or American weapons are in the conflict zone? how many Chinese, or Russian weapons? Seems that we need another demon to point at. 107mm rockets made by the iranian defence industries organisation?
