Can the iranians give us a Bloody Nose?

   The Iranians have been making many threats about what they will do if attacked by the Israelis or the US. Much of it is just rhetoric but before we laugh it off we need to take a serious look at their weapons capabilities. Most of it is rhetoric but they mean what they say and I believe that they fully intend to back it up. The question is do they have the juice to back up what they say?

I don't have much respect at all for their ground forces but technology is just a little bit different. Modern missiles will do their job regardless of who fires them. A patriot missile doesn't know its owner. Neither does a cruise missilr. They will go precisely where they are sent and do what they were sent there to do. 

The only thing that crewmen have to be able to do is to follow a list of steps or actions which quite frankly are designed to be rather difficult to mess up. The technology that these weapons posses is the thing that does the job.

 

Troops don't have to be scientists or even Rambo's in order to use this stuff. All that they have to be is capable of following a few simple directions and motivated to do so.

 

Iran has quite a variety of missile systems which could possibly overwhelm U.S. missile defenses in the Persian Gulf. Its fast-attack boats could swarm a warship and sink it. And its fleet of hard-to-find submarines carry torpedoes faster than any torpedo in the U.S. fleet. But Iran cannot sustain an attack against the U.S., said Christopher Harmer, a former U.S. Navy commander who participated in war planning for U.S. forces the Persian Gulf.

 

Iran has been expanding its defense and offensive capabilities with the help of China, Russia and other nations amid demands from the United Nations and Western nations that it prove its nuclear program is not for making a bomb in violation of its international agreements. Iran insists its program is for peaceful purposes.
