[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1273091, member: 14668"] Lets pretend for a moment that Iran was able to fabricate a couple of nukes and mount them onto a ballistic missile with enough range to hit the United States. We would know they launched it, and they know that we would know that they launched it, so they know that we would retaliate. Their entire nation is under continuous satellite surveillance and the launch of an ICBM creates an infra-red signiature that cannot be hidden. I can gurantee you that, at any point in time, we have at least one Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine on patrol in the Indian Ocean that could, at a moments notice, come to the surface and launch up to 24 ballistic missiles with up to 4 nuclear warheads apiece at Iran. Do the math. Thats 96 nuclear warheads that can be targeted at every major city on Iran within a matter of minutes. Iran is well aware of our capabilities, they have no defense against them, and they know that any attack upon us would result in their entire nation being blasted off the face of the earth. They may be crazy but they arent stupid. We dont have anything to fear from them. We know it and they know it too. [/QUOTE]
