Khuzestan Incursion 2006 scenario... realistic or...?

Iran will probably have nuclear weapons in 2006. That means that if US are going to act, it must be in 2005 or 2006. An air strike is always a possibility, but it is so easy for the Iranians to move much of their program underground that it is doubtful that it can solve the problem. At best, it will delay the problem giving US more time.

A more realistic solution, but still short of all-out invastion would be a "Khuzestan Incursion" scenario.
Khuzestan [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khuzestan] is the southwesternmost province in Iran. It is on the Persian Gulf and borders Iraq. While most of Iran is covered by high mountains, Khuzestan is a low-laying plateau. These mountains effectively isolate the province from the rest of Iran. Most importantly, this is where virtually all of Iran’s oil fields are located.

The "Khuzestan Incursion" scenario could consist of the following. Once Iraqi elections have been held and the insurgency has been cut down to a small enough level that the Iraqi army can handle it (not happening yet!), the US moves half of its occupying army to southeast Iraq. This force would consist mainly of Mechanized Infantry divisions.
This force would rapidly take over the province and hold it. Any Iranian counter-attack would be forced to go through the narrow mountain roads, making them very vulnerable to air strikes.

Once the US Army has taken control of the province, Bush gives the following ultimatum.
1. Iran must destroy all WMD weapons and facilities, allow UN arms inspectors for verification, and promise never to seek WMD.
2. Iran must immediately stop funding, training and organizing terrorists groups and promise not to do so in the future.
3. Iran must abolish the Council of Guardians and transfer all its power to elected officials.
4. Iran must hold new parliamentary and presidential elections..
5. ......
If not fullfiled US will keep that region until .... forever?
.......

p.s. they need allies like Blair for this plan and therfore retreat of British troops from Iraq should have been stopped...how?...public should support stay in Iraq, of course...

Any other opinion?

burninmadil Empire

...SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVburninmadIL...
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank,
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made

I shouted out,
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all,
It was you and me

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint

So if you meet me, have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste

Pleased to meet you,
Hope you guessed my name,
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game...
