Back and forth...

This week the Iranian president has said that Iran is ready resume negotiations over its disputed nuclear program. The Iranians also allowed a team of UN nuclear inspectors access to its nuke sites and has offered to extend their visit to Iran as to allow more time to inspect. While these developments would seemingly signal a shift in stance, the Iranians also announced development of new weaponry. Specifically they announced that they have developed laser guided artillery which currently only a handful of countries have. Things seem to be happening rather quickly and it is hard to decipher if there is any way to avert war without one side being willing to bend, which currently seems very unlikely. One of the main things to be aware of is that if Iran is attacked it will not attempt to go head to head with the US it has adopted a policy of asymmetric warfare in the event of an attack. I think any scenario of military conflict is likely to result in many unexpected and drastic unforeseen consequences across the whole of the middle east, and possibly on a global scale. All parties should tread carefully for this will be no Iraq or Afghanistan. Iran on some level has been preparing itself for war with the US for over 30 years. If we attack, they will respond and I have a feeling we wont like the results of what happens.
