What happens if Iran invades Iraq at the same time as the US and UK? The Iranian air force carries out some air strikes to help the UK and US, and Iran tells the US and UK that they are on their side.After Iraq is militarly defeated, Iran plays for time, whilst secretly arming Iraqi resistance fighters and infiltrating them into the parts of Iraq that the US and UK have taken. At the same time Iran tries to develop the nuclear bomb as quickly as possible, knowing that once they have it, it is unlikely that the US and UK would risk invading it.
Can Iran hang on in there until it gets nuclear weapons, or do the US and UK lose paitence quickly and attack and/or invade it?
