In the scope of things that happened under Regan....yes.

Now the Iranian troop movements and HQ placements of the last 6 - 9 months are very interesting and imply from the Iranian side of things that want to in the words of William Wallace "Pick a Fight".

For right now it would be economic disaster for the US and China sources a major portion of their crude from Iran. China has no love for Iran and is searching out other sources (Canadian Oil Sands) but they are a perm. Member of the UN security Council and I doubt they will go to sleep at the wheel like they did when they did not veto the Korean War.

Iran knows that with Iraq in turmoil that they could get the south (Which is their people) and that nothing would stand between them and the Med. Sea,

The President of Iran wants a war but we will not give it to him unless he formally attacks (The US will deal with the help Iran gives the Southern Iraq rebels under the table).

The President of Iran needs us to look like the attackers to get the backing of the people and the people's minds off of the FU#KED economy of Iran and the mass exodus of educated Iranians to the West to get out from under the crushing religious and economic conditions currently in Iran.

Could write pages here but that is it in short.

If was ever came; look up the history of the decade long war Iraq & Iran fought in the 1980 - 1990. You will also realize why the UK wants their troops out. If the Iranians can get in to close combat situations with the US then that will negate to a point the superior weapons systems of the US. Then there will be a retreat by Iran into Iran... Look at the mountain ranges just inside the boarder of Iran and think of the how effective (Not) the US bombing was against Vietnam to reduce the production of weapons and their delivery plus there are countries that would help Iran under the table.
