I am thinking an oil and gold spike, crash in the stock market, and the possibility of additional global attacks in retaliation. Iran would have no reason not to furnish jihadists more effective weapons. If the Russian built reactor is damaged and delays payment, look for Russia to do to the US what we did to them in Afghanistan – furnish Man Portable Air Defense systems. Afghanistan will become untenable if our jets and helicopters become regular targets.
The worst case scenario is that Israel uses one of their tactical nukes and blames the fallout on Iran’s nuclear program. Israel could expect very limited success at some of the re-enforced enrichment facilities without troupes on the ground. The re-enforced enrichment facilities in Iran are long distance, and difficult targets for Israel.
Any outcome crashes the markets, hurts US war effort, and drives precious metal through the roof.

August 19, 2010 at 3:24 PM #593485SK in CVParticipantI don’t know if it’s going to happen in the next 12 months. I think it’s unlikely. But it’s been predicted so often by many different people “in the next 6 to 12 months” for at least 5 years. (do a google search on “israel will bomb iran” with a date range of 8/1/05 to 8/1/06 you get over a quarter million hits!) These predictions have become kind of a yawner.

August 19, 2010 at 3:59 PM #593530AecetiaParticipant“Iran is one of the most talked about countries on America’s foreign-policy fixations. It’s also one of the least understood. That’s not a stretch: anything east of Gibraltar these days seems misunderstood, stereotyped or worse, which goes a long way to explain the sort of mess we’re in in the United States: the Bush years add up to an intentional snub of a world it never attempted to understand, let alone deal with, except from the barrel of a gun. Or at least a barrel-full of preconceptions.”
