Not a pretty picture. Talk, I guess. And talk somemore. And talk again.
There's almost no way they could win in an offensive conventional war agaisnt the USA and Britian. They'd definately try, but for one thing the only strength Iran has against the USA in a conventional role is the terrian of Iran. We may not be able to easily invade, but bombing and defending the borders is very possible, and Iran knows that.

We've already seen their inability to control the radicals in their government with them taking 15 hostages. What do you think will happen once they have nuclear weapons or just nuclear waste?
