ground troops to pull it off. If it comes to conflict I suspect we will bomb (with the help of Israel) as many hard targets as we can, to include the their missile installations. We of course will not take out all of them and Iran will launch a counter attack on our fleet in the Gulf and our forces in Iran. We will then launch a limited nuclear attack. How do we justify this well (contrived or not) Iran may have nuclear weapons already and one just might go off in a location that has little effect on US forces initiating a retaliatory strike.
