Iran at it again!!

While the likelyhood of a successful Iranian attack on a US carrier group is very unlikely it is very feasible for Iran to very seriously disrupt merchant shipping in the region.

Not to sound like a naggy nanny but it is unwise to ever underestimate an enemy or potential enemy. Though Iran would never win an open conflict against the West they could very very easily cause very serious economic harm to much of the world if they did seriously try anything. Any threat should be taken seriously and is by the US Navy. Not to mention the effect such a conflict could have regional and even world stability.

I guess I have the Jack Ryan approach.
