That line is just too too good to avoid a French surrender joke.I think we should stick with the French option..

Is one regime all you could name? There are currently tons of regimes with UN sanctions. North Korea probably the most obvious one, and look, they are sending rockets to space.
And with the public opinion on Iraq with the Iraq inquiry, do you think Britain will ever be able to garner enough Parliamentary support to declare war on Iran? To be honest, i highly doubt a UK and French offensive would ever be successful anyway. The UK and France would never even consider war with Iran (or any other European power for that matter) without going in side by side with the Americans.
Certainly they can withdraw. But then the "peaceful purposes" charade would be plainly exposed. They would become a nuclear rogue state like North Korea. Quite unlike NK, the Iranians are very sensitive about their global reputation.
Why does Iran not have the right to pursue nuclear weapons?
Well they aren't that successful either.
Sanctions could work if the ones that impose them know what they're doing.
Besides, I do not see many other option except going into an all out war.
Because Iran is a signatory of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
BBC News - Iran makes new uranium enrichment challenge
Now choose the option you feel appropriate in the poll.
Do you think an armed assault by NATO is due? Surely such a thing is inevitable, if this hard liner insists on dragging down Iran with him.
Israel will probably strike before anyone else has a chance to.
Because they agreed not to do so... and because it's a bad idea for a violent, murderous, theocracy that is know to be the world's foremost state sponsor of terrorism.
Therefore, Iran should never be allowed to posses anything more dangerous than a sling shot.
IWrong. States French policies is to use nuclear weapons on Iran in any scenario of threat or actual attack on them and possibly their allies.
From what I can tell ... Israel is making plans to do exactly that.
If I was Isreal, I would encourage the people to move back into Europe, to spread the risk, and then use Israel as a western "base" for western interference in the middle east, Africa and central Asia.

Sure, France likes to Talk the Talk but when it starts to Walk the Walk then ill say your right.
France wont consider any military actions without the US, end of.
Israel cannot handle Iran alone.
And NATO will not help. Neither would UK after Iraq.
The chances of Europe getting involved is slim to none.

It's interesting that no one has mentioned China yet, which is the last SC power unwilling to move forward with a non-military, non-negotiated action against Iran. They say diplomacy can still work. Any idea what they mean? (That's not a rhetorical question, I'm really curious about how Iran can be dissuaded from pursuing nuclear weapons and fully complying with IAEA requirements.)
I voted "no" in the poll, but we have to make SOME progress of some kind at some point.

Europe is already involved.Israel cannot handle Iran alone.

The chances of Europe getting involved is slim to none. US might tho but they already in alot of debt
Really now.
France "walks the walk" all the time, especially in Africa. French forces are engaged around the world actually. They dont need to invade Iran, and it would be difficult.. Therefor they just use the nuclear option.
Europe is already involved.
Germany and France are two of the biggest speakers against the Iranian nuclear ambition.

I don't know, let's begin with something that would not require the scattering of the Jewish citizens of Israel at the disapora again, it pretty much goes against the purpose of Israel's establishment you know.What tactic is more safe and better?
