    It's like saying : I predict there will be a plane crash in March within the next decade. ( There will be, you heard it here first ).


    We needs names in the coalition ( hint : Israel & the US? ) and a shorter time period.
    Time-scales will depend on how long Syria takes. Also it's nothing like your plane crash analogy. And the word is "too". If you want a shorter timeframe....within 3 years of Assad being gone.

    I would refer to a US based coalition but I'd prefer to state "a western coalition" as the western governments specialise in smoke and mirrors.

    So how's that? "A coalition of western countries will take military action or other steps to force regime change in Iran within 3 years of the toppling and probable murder of Assad."


    Just as a side note - the invasion/regime change in Iran is a foregone conclusion. Without it the "work" in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, Libya et al will have been for nothing.

      After all, the record of "success" since 2001 isn't exactly inspiring.
      Guess it depends on your agenda really. The dollar is still afloat, Libya's plans for the gold-based Dinar are buried in the rubble, countries who intended to stop accepting USD for oil still do and Iran is surrounded by US military installations and the invasion of Syria is well under way. Looks to me to be running quite well.

            I'll take the opposite view to that.

            "The increased co-operation between the West ( defined as US + UK + France + Germany etc ) and Iran in the eventual defeat of ISIS coupled with the Iranian decision to suspend their nuclear programme and their desire to be fully re-integrated into the world economy will lead to a de-escalation of tension between Iran and the West.

            If regime change occurs within Iran it will be as a result of the Iranian people and their desire attain a Western standard of living, as shown in the short-lived Iranian "Green Movement" of 2009."

            In Geo-politics there's no such thing as a foregone conclusion.

              That's what folk were telling me years ago when I told them Libya and Syria were a foregone conclusion.
