It's hard to say how serious they are because they aren't really making any explicit statements in this article. "If you attack us we will fight back" ...well, that's pretty much a given. Iran must lay out their terms before we can start weighing in on deterrence. Both U.S. and Iran are just rattling their cages right now; they both probably know that a strike in the next years or so (or as long as troops are still in Iraq) will disintegrate any remaining support for the American administration.

Yep. Skybird answered this best. Shore-to-ship missiles, submarines, mines, etc etc.
