> Ex-U.N. Inspector: Decision Already Made To Attack Iran
12 August 2006, 18:06
So far, both Syria and Iran have been smart enough not to allow themselves to be provoked into joining the fray, and I reckon they will continue being that smart. On the other hand, if attacked, Iran will defend itself furiously. Seeing that Iran can field some 100,000 well trained and fanatic Pasdaran elite troops and probably close to a million regulars, the few thousand American soldiers in all these military bases you mention would be no match against the Iranians.
