This is a fantasy land in almost this whole discussion. The USA cannot take out those facilities with conventional weapons. The US military is either spreading total propaganda and lying about this, or it is total disinfo, and none of these hardened nuke plants are even intended to be the targets. As some others have already said, the real reason to attack Iran has nothing to do with this. This is proven by the simple fact that the USA does not have the conventional military capability to actually do so, and neither does Israel.
The only way it could be done is an all out thermonuclear war. And if the USA did that, there would be consequences on USA soil.
Clearly, very few people here have the slightest clue as to how any of these military operations would actually work, nor to what would be involved. The whole idea of "taking out" these "nuclear facilities" is absolutely beyond ludicrous, and it's just being talked about in the Zionist controlled media so that the moronic brainwashed masses can be fooled by it.
And as far as the talk about "secret weapons" and all of that - yes, the USA has extremely advanced weapons. So what? They don't have anything in the alternative weapons that can take out these facilities, except for things like HAARP, which if actually used for such a task cannot be controlled properly. They use one of these "alternative" weapons to "take out" these hardened nuclear plants and there will be a nuclear cloud over western Europe.
The only way to even begin such operations from a tactical standpoint would be to use large scale nukes so that the radiation would be locally held where the strikes occurred. This could be accurately gauged by the weather pattern and other advanced military tech (like HAARP) in controlled amounts could keep the fallout down.
This would negate the radiation leakage from the plants themselves.
This whole thread, talking about conventional attacks to take out nuke plants (which is impossible), about attacking Iran over bombs they don't have, and about it being some kind of video game circle jerk, for sick and demented psychopathic Americans to watch on Zionist owned TV, as they masturbate to it, and ejaculate over the casualty reports coming in on TV, is nothing more than a sick and delusional fantasy of the minds of the psychotic.
The idea expressed here by some, that somehow there would be no consequences to the US for doing this, is nothing short of pure lunacy. There are some extremely disturbed people posting in this thread.

Events would unfold swiftly as in the film "Threads" (well worth a watch)
1. At about 4am, Israel launches attack on Iran.
2. Iranina fighters engage and begin to lose against Irael, but tying up Isreal's attack force.
3. Iran calls on Russia who scramble.
4. Russian planes engage Iraeli and Israeli jet s begin going down rapidly.
5. Many Israeli retreat and pursued by Iranian and Russian.
6. US forced to intervene to defend Israel, US jets scramble in the Gulf.
7. Iran hits US fleet with Silkworm missiles with heavy loses.
8. Other country's presetn drawn in to defend US fleet.
9 US Jets engage Iranian jets.
10. Russian jets and US jets engage mutually but US jets forced to retreat due to losses by US Navy.
11. More RUssian jets pulled in from SIberia and elsewhere - more US jets pulled in from Qatar and elesewhere.
12. At some point either Russian bases or US bases face bein overwhelmed and soemone uses a battlefield tactical nuke on an Israeli or Iranian base.
13. By noon, dead planet.

interesting theory ...Iran won't be attacked without been the aggressor ...don't think the public and the world in general will fall for the old Harboring Terrorists plot... (if you can call that an excuse for killing millions of innocent people )
maybe the naive but not the people who matter
some times i have to question who the real terrorists are ...the facts remain that Iran hasn't played ball to allow western interference controlling there vast resources
western media spin it saying we have put sanctions on them not allowing any exports from Iran .....
while in reality they don't need or want to trade with USA/UK/Israel , enjoying free trade with Russia and china and much of the Arab states to the embarrassment of the 3 countries mentioned

I've been saying for years, the U.S. won't invade Iran overtly. With the recent delisting of the MEK/PMOI from the list of terror groups, and the fact that the group has significant contacts in Iran, all the U.S. has to do is to give them a few hundred million dollars, let them set up shop in Afghanistan, and voila, we have a civil war in Iran that would make the one in Syria look like picnic. Not saying I support this, just saying that this is how I see it going down. It would become even easier if the MEK/PMOI were to combine forces with the other major rebel groups in Iran, and the more militant members of the old green movement from 2009.

No there isn't.
Name a few. Oil? Saudi Arabia said it would take over Iran's output. Iraq has massive oil reserves it could drill and exploit. The United States could create hundreds of thousands of jobs drilling our massive oil supply.
Iran isn't needed. Their military and government should be obliterated. Russia gets involved? So be it.

thelede.blogs.nytimes.com...
Israel’s minister of intelligence and atomic energy, that Mr. Ahmadinejad’s rhetorical flourish had been misinterpreted. “This idea that Iran wants to wipe Israel out,” Mr. Nabili said, “now that’s a common trope that is put about by a lot of people in Israel, a lot of people in the United States, but as we know Ahmadinejad didn’t say that he plans to exterminate Israel, nor did he say that Iran’s policy is to exterminate Israel.”

The argument of #1 country in the world is pointless. Everyone thinks their country is best.
If it comes out to strategic military dominance - if you think the US isn't on top, you should be a comedian.
On issues regarding the economy and sanctions, 65 percent blamed the worsening economy on sanctions, and only 11 percent said the state of the economy was due to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's incompetence. Nineteen percent said it was due to the obstructionist techniques of Ahmadinejad's opponents. When asked if Iran continues to enrich uranium, how likely is it that the current sanctions will be increased, 42 percent said sanctions would definitely increase. This finding is consistent with the same question asked in 2009 by the World Public Opinion poll, which found that 35 percent of Iranians definitely believed sanctions would increase - and they have.
In a very telling question, respondents were asked: "Would you favor or oppose an agreement whereby all current sanctions against Iran would be removed and Iran would continue its nuclear energy program, except that it would agree not to enrich uranium?" Fifty-nine percent were opposed to stopping enrichment and only 29 percent were in favor.
In another question, respondents were asked which statement is closer to their opinion: 1)"Iran should continue its nuclear enrichment activity even if it results in war;"or 2) "Iran should prevent a war from occurring even if it means suspending nuclear enrichment." Fifty-five percent chose to continue enrichment, while 33 percent said Iran should prevent a war, even if it means suspending enrichment.
