Russia and China know even better than we do, that they can’t do anything about it in military terms. So for force appliance they have to rely on US and maybe some (yet to define) alliance members.

Considering the same information i guess Iran itself is pretty much sure in this regard. Now the catch is all this superior weaponary and intelligence sharing and still you have a defiant Iran? Is the Oil weapon powerful + Iran and Iraq terrorist activities incase of war, are big enough weapons to prevent any adventures from the USA and Allies?

Well incase of USA really goes for Iran. Obviously they have to do some information collection regarding what sort of equipment Iran has been buying under the table. Though i have no doubts that the european vendors will let him know wht he wants. but what about the shopping list from Russia? Will Russia or China hand over that?

Intresting. Lets see if we get more details of the experiment conducted this time. Rather then just a launch video and an official statement that it was perfect. It it was perfect why need another test so soon :> ???? hehhehee

So your suggesting that may be numbers can do the trick for Iran. So keeping the number thing in mind, how much is enough for Iran to have a good go at USAF?

Since we are playing a stretching game, So y not i stretch a little aswell. So i put this stretch in the mix.
What if Stinger missiles from Pakistan find their way across the boarder to Iran. Considering its a hand held model so taking out these targets is almost impossible. What would the latest USAF A/C do against their own technology working against them.
Comments guys?

And what exactly does you expect when you go for a capitalist system? Try communism i guess, give protection to your assets but then it means NO FREE- DOOM.
:>

So persuming the above analysis the first day is over. Some of the Nuclear infrastructure sustained heavy demage but what about the demage done to the enemy. Is it enough for the enemy to go for crusie missiles option or will it venture into Iran airspace again ? Considering may be some shoulder held ground to air weapons could be used? Comments

Having strike capability is a second guess game. Everyone wants to guess the ability of others and try to counter it effectively. ICBMS effectively give the capability to one country to effectively engage the enemy where ever he is.
Now lets analyse Pakistan in the context of ICBMS. Any nation not sharing borders with Pakistan is relatively in calm considering they dont have to put in the equation the factor of having to deal with Pakistan directly in a conflict and thus effectively ensures response to Pakistan in such a way. This means if you dont have measures to hit me i dont need to think of measures to hit you.
Considering the global condition and the proactive stance between Israel and Pakistan, if Pakistan opts to go ICBM, Israel has to think in one way or the other but considering the factor that a very few countries mostly super powers share this option will consider this a strategic shift and have to rethink their strategies in terms of dealing threats from Pakistan (Specially Pakistan having nuclear arsenal).
Bottom line develop it but dont tell it else you would have major explaining to do.
