Dont believe the lies that the politicians are always spewing, they dont care about weapons of mass destruction or terrorists;
all they care about is money/resources

This is surely a large show of force if IRAN does not curb it's ways with NUKES and trainning terrorists within it's borders. U.S.A and other nations will not tolerate a nuclear iran that harbors terrorists with intensions to harm others.
This is a nation that will take action against it's enemies no matter the cost

What would be our reason to just strike Iran out of the blue?

You all do know we're already at war, right? Obama and Congress declared war with the sanctions. We've attacked their country economically, baiting them to make a move militarily so that we can turn around and "defend." This is by no means a peaceful act. The only thing that remains to be seen is how far the war escalates.

I have no idea what is going on, but you just don't park 3 subs, 3 aircraft carriers and put a mass of troops and equipment on the ground with ships all off the coast of IRAN. Something has got to give. This is surely a large show of force if IRAN does not curb it's ways with NUKES and trainning terrorists within it's borders. U.S.A and other nations will not tolerate a nuclear iran that harbors terrorists with intensions to harm others. This is a nation that will take action against it's enemies no matter the cost.

I myself am of the opinion that Israel and US are going to hit Iran some night and we'll all learn about it on the news after it happens. The us has colossal air superiority over the area and all they need to bring iran to it's knees is a short air campaign.

Fear and Propaganda have sunk their teeth into far too many posters here on ATS.
It seems the media's job of ramming up support for the coming Iran/Israel war is working.

To be honest with you its the US I dont trust with nukes, after all they are the only nation to have used them in any conflict. I say take the nukes off the yanks!! Seriously guys, how many wars have they started? Dangerous country!!!!

I think this is a horrible misconception - Iran is armed to the teeth with SAM's and high velocity anti ship missiles.
It has 100 or more light missile boats - the US fleet is highly vulnerable, they might feel safe - but if they engage, they could easily lose the entire fleet.
The Iranian air defense is very strong - they could use very high level bombers, or very low level - any conventional type of air strike is going to be shot to pieces.
