If this is true we are in a difficult situation.
The Irainians are going for the Southern oil but more importantly the Shatt Al Arab port at Umm Oasr. Basra and the British are toast.
We failed to understand the dynamic between Shia and Sunni ( they attacked the WTC — not the Shia). The Shia now see a weak and unstable Iraq and we are hugely out numbered. The Shia will rise up to support the Iranian Ayatollas . The Iranians have 1 million under arms including a 50,000 man air force and a 20,000 man nay. ( notice I said “man” ) The Shia represent 62% of the Iraq population ( approximately 18 million) Iran has 63 million. Kuwait is entitely Shia!! If this invasion is true you may run to get oil in your car tomorrow and stock up on food because gasoline will go to $10 a gallon over night.Shia hate Sunni equal with infidels. I pray in the name of Jesus this report is not true.

If Iran attacked Basra and the British, they would soon thereafter cease to exist as a regime.

they will do nothing overt.

However, they are emerging as the all-time masters of covert/insurgent warfare and terrorism. They can wreck some damage, but they cannot seriously damage a modern military like US farces in the Gulf and Iraq.

It'd be fun to watch them try though:)
