U.S. War with Iran would be Navy, Air Force show: Analysts Some point to buildup in Persian Gulf region as precursor to attack

By WILLIAM H. MCMICHAEL

The attack would probably come by air. Waves of U.S. cruise missiles and warplanes loaded with smart weapons would swoop into Iran from the sea and land bases to destroy key Iranian nuclear facilities.

Out in the Persian Gulf, the U.S. Navy would wipe out Iran’s navy in a matter of days. Iran’s air defenses could possibly take out a few higher-flying Navy and Air Force tactical jets before being located and destroyed.

In short, the first round would go decisively to the United States


Iran's credit rating would be 127 afterwards.

I think the Iranian government needs a wake-up call:

Jimmy Carter is no longer president.
