If it ever materialises in to anything other than war propaganda, it will more likey "mysteriously explode" before it so much as 'starts its engines'.

From the little knowledge I have about their old Kilo klass submarine and the knowledge I have about nuclear powered submarine(got mostly my knowledge from here)

I know that a nuclear powered submarine is alot more silence than a old diesel powered submarine. I don't think they would be interesseret in an attempt to increase their patrol area. I think they will stay in or just outside hormuz.

I even believe that such a submarine will be a larger challenge to the americans ASW.

We laugh at it, but I'm 110 % sure that the US government and it's military don't. They take this information seriously.
