Sorry to disappoint, but it doesn't look like America will be invading Iran after all, I'm happy to say.....
May peace prevail in the Middle East.

U.S. Set to Establish Diplomatic Presence in Iran:
Report 2008-07-17
The United States is set to establish a diplomatic presence in Tehran, the Iranian capital, for the first time in 30 years, a British newspaper reported Thursday.
The Guardian said Washington would open a U.S. interests section next month, the first step in establishing an embassy.
"The Guardian has learned that an announcement will be made in the next month to establish a U.S. interests section in Tehran, a halfway house to setting up a full embassy," the unsourced report said.
"The move will see US diplomats stationed in the country," it said.
Senior U.S. diplomat William Burns told Congress last week the U.S. was examining the possibility of opening an interests section in Iran but had not yet made a commitment to do so.
The Guardian said the development was "a remarkable turnaround in policy by President George Bush who has pursued a hawkish approach to Iran throughout his time in office."
The U.S. severed diplomatic ties with Iran when a mob of students led by Muslim extremists took over the U.S. embassy in Tehran in 1979, holding 52 U.S. diplomats hostage for 444 days.
