8. lmao.....
All Iran has to do is start lobbing Sunburn missiles into the Gulf and close off the Strait of Hormuz with Exocets. If you measure the width of the gulf at the widest point it is only about +-125 miles wide. Iranian aircraft can stay over thier coast launching missiles all the while the SA10 Grumble SAM's will shoot our aircraft out of the sky if they try to penetrate the northern coast.

Theoretically, Iran could sink every major warship in the gulf in a day and keep any reinforcements from arriving for months.....all the while sinking oil tankers at will.

Basically, we will all be in a deep pile of poo-poo if we let Israel attack Iran's nuclear reactors.

Do we want to discuss the casualties involved in a major war with Iran?

How about North Korea?
