Former Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul says members of Congress have voiced support for a pre-emptive nuclear strike on Iran.
“I hear members of Congress saying ‘if we could only nuke them’,” said the congressman Thursday.
“If we do (attack) it is going to be a disaster,” he told the Alex Jones Show.
The 72-year-old veteran politician added that the atmosphere in Congress indicates that a military strike on Iran has already been condoned.
“It is still totally bewildering to me when I see men and women in the Congress that I know and like doing this just to get along. Most of them will say, ‘I agree with you on all you say but the Iranians are bad people and they might attack us some day,” Paul said.
Referring to House Congressional Resolution 362 that he calls the ‘Virtual Iran War Resolution’, Paul explained the president plans to impose ‘an absolute blockade of the entire country of Iran, and punish any country or any business group around the world if they trade with Iran’.
Despite the recent UN nuclear watchdog report conceding that there is no link between the use of nuclear material and the ‘alleged studies’ of weaponization in Iran’s nuclear facilities, Washington accuses Tehran of pursuing a military nuclear program.

If Israel is mad enough to attack Iran as it is heard the condition will be more difficult for Israel, US and even the west.
1- Iran can attack Israel by thousands of Iranian far reaching missiles. Iran has experienced the 8 year war with Iraq and is ready enough to make great bothers for Israel.
2- Iran can close the strategic strait in Persian golf where its oil is vital for developed West. It may risen the oil price to 500$ per barrel. The industrial world is highly dependant to the oil of Iran, Iraq, Emirate, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.
3- Iran can attack Israel directly with the assistance of Hezbollah of Lebanon and maybe Syria.
4- Iran has the ability to attack USA forces in Iraq with assistance of its Shiite supporters and heady influence.
5- Iran may attack USA bases and embassies in Middle East region
