Thank you sir, may I have another? ;)

Mischief knows no age!

Interesting thoughts on how a preemptive strike might play out here and here.

Has anyone come across any war-games or serious analyses showing advantage for the US after an attack on Iran?

It is no advantage in attack Iran...
 
Any attack on Iran would not end well

“The end would be an embarrassing retreat by the United States and the definitive establishment of Iran as the dominant power of the Gulf region. That was the outcome of every war game the Pentagon played, and Mullen knows it. It is all bluff. It always was.”

But don´t you know... US soldiers breathe fire and fart lightning, and the enemy will just drop dead from fright at the mere thought of going against them! Any competent president can just decree a war won by landing on an aircraft carrier in a flight suit and speaking beneath a "Mission Accomplished" banner.
 
Israel is the only country that is really threatened by Iran, so I say: let Israel do it.

They are more than capable.
 
Iranians will welcome the liberation nukes with flowers.....

I would say that Israel is the only country that FEEL really threatened by Iran.

Israel government have many options to settle peace with the Palestinians and give no reasons to the Iranian regime threat them.

Palestine appear to be the only cause to Iran authorities declare a war against the State of Israel.

It will NEVER happen. Israel is a lil poop without the aid of your country. They are no match for IRAN`s army unless they throw in some of their nuclear warheads, which would result in WWIII , which is no interesting for the U.S. at the moment. And you know why.

Dont be naive. Israel will never wage war without U.S.

Before anyone goes on a rant about failed American foreign policy in Iraq or Afghanistan, I'd like to know what the sane people here feel about a tactical preemptive strike by either Israel or the US on Iran's nuclear infrastructure.

Considering the fact that Iran funds much of the global terrorist network, wouldn't it be safe to assume that at some point, if they enrich uranium to weapon's grade levels, that a dirty nuke or something of that nature might "make its way" into the hands of a terrorist organization?

Remember, this most likely would not be an invasion but a series of air strikes.

For or against?

This is the disreputable Israeli position. Why would any decent nation want to support that pariah state, especially when by doing so, they would effectively be supporting the collective punishment of an entire group of people in a disgusting crime against humanity? if Israel wants support from the international community it should start obeying international law and start treating the Palestinian people like human beings. But they won't of course.

It is also is a repetition of the demonisation of a country in preparation for attacking it, as we saw with Iraq. Sorry but the world will not be taken in again. The world recognises warmongering when it see it.

Just because the apartheid Israeli government want to keep on destroying nations they dislike does not mean that any rational, decent states should join in. In any case, a recent poll showed that a majority of Usans were against supporting Israel if it attacked Iran.

If Israel goes ahead and attacks a sovereign nation it should bear all the consequences alone.

yes. it is laughable. I'd like to see evidence that Iran is funding Al-Qaeda.

That`s exactly what no one will ever see. Or it would be already in the media. There`s nothing there. Only lies and propaganda. And I hope I do not need to remember anyone in here about the origins of Al-Qaeda. I dont wanna go through all this again.
