The risks to U.S. forces would be far greater in an operation against Iran, which boasts a formidable arsenal of missiles. The US fully expects Iran to retaliate, leading to back-and-forth strikes. (www.reuters.com)

Would be a real shame if Washington devils were killed in targeted missile attacks like Iranian generals. Just saying.

Losing even just one carrier strike group to Iran would be catastrophic blow, because the US is maintaining a stretched global empire and Iran isn't their main rival.
