Will the US take action against Iran?

t out of Tehran, this is a bloody good reason for it. Not sure someone being a Quds member means it is Iran backed, to be honest. The attempt might have nothing whatsoever to do with Quds. It's a bit like a cop doing something criminal, and saying the US has backed criminal stuff because he was a federal employee! More info required, I think.
Well the Saudis and Iranians have been fighting a proxy war for decades now. Currently the action is taking place in the Yemen and this is just a small part of the conflict between the two.
It's a shame the Iranians have such mad leaders because I've always felt they could be our natural allies in the region. They have a long and proud history and at heart, the majority of their citizens share the liberal values most of us do. The Arabs on the other hand.........

Just watched Congressman Poe on Fox News stating this is clearly an act of war.
According to Fox The targets included the Saudi AND Israeli Embassy and as they involved apparrent Bomb plotsthen that would theoretically be acts of war against 3 Governments no?
this could get VERY messy imho!
It's Fox though. All over emotional, frothing children. It's Daily Mail on steriods. According to Fox The targets included the Saudi AND Israeli Embassy and as they involved apparrent Bomb plotsthen that would theoretically be acts of war against 3 Governments no?

On top of that, America is bankrupt. No one is going to lend them the money to do any more major buggering about beyond their borders.

And this isn't just another US justification for war such as WMDs in Iraq?
It's not the US who want war the most in this region, it's the Saudis.http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/nov/28/us-emb...

But if they are the only channel going to town on the story then surely that implies everyone thinks it's a non starter?
Is Jackson still dead?
