Seems amany are delighted that Israel may attack Iran. There are many who feel that Israel is gutsy and we should emulate them. The unfortunate truth is that as per IAEA, Iran does not have a nuclear program. As per US intellignece estimate, Iran does not have any nuclear program. One reason to attack Iran would be to punish it for its big mouth president's statement that Israel will some how cease to exist. Other reasons include Iran's support for Iraqi militants, Hezbollah and Hamas. It would please many if Iran abandons its clients.
India should work to ensure there is cool off in Middle East. If Iran is attacked, it is likely that in the short term price of petroleum will go through the roof. $200 to $300 would be a good estimate. This will ruin everyone, including Indians. But again if USA can occupy Iran and take over all the oil fileds in Middle East from Saudi Arabia to Iran, we may see a flow of cheap oil for the next 50 years. May be India should work jointly with USA and offer 80000 troops for Iraq and another 100000 for Iran invasion. We will secure partial ownership of Iraqi and Iranian oil. Given that our troops will face mortal danger, do we have stomach for that?
