Can British missiles reach Tehran?

Can British missiles reach Tehran?

Yes, they have four (4) nuclear ballistic submarines with Trident D2 missiles on it.

I doubt they keep them bottled up in the Atlantic. I would bet one is in the Indian or Med. Oceans.

I would also bet that they can still deliver air-to-ground nukes (B51/W53 bombs) still in inventory.

Which building in Tehran?
I rather imagine the brit subs have more than enough missiles that can hit any target in tehran down to one as small as three by three foot, we share with our friends.

Tony can probably push that button himself. And take out the households of at least three or four dozen mad mullahs.

maybe more.
Our NEWEST team ally, may have the capacity to attack Iran this week as well. Iraq that is. You know our newest ally?

Bet your Koran on it. Sub-launched, launch site to target range-at your pleasure!

"Can British missiles reach Tehran?"

Well put. I can hear Winston Churchill laughing in his grave.

Oh yeah, no problem...

The Vanguard Class SSBN (Ship Submersible Ballistic Nuclear) provides the United Kingdom's strategic and sub-strategic nuclear deterrent.

Trident D5 missiles A credible nuclear deterrent depends upon the ability to threaten an assured and effective response to aggression. The Trident II D5 missile has a range of over 4,000 nautical miles and an accuracy, which can be measured in metres. Each missile is technically capable of delivering up to 12 warheads, enabling a number of different targets to be engaged, and each Vanguard class submarine has 16 missile tubes....Aptly named as well...

Yes they can but I expect Israel will get there first should it be neccessary. That would be the logic in the hope that any further military action would be kept localised . Anyway the Israeli's ain't stupid they been planning for this for years. The Iranians..well perhaps a little stupid but not absolutly effin mad .They are well aware that the consequences of slinging nukes about would be their total anhialation
