I don’t think he’s talking about an all out war, just taking out Iran’s military and nuclear facilities. What kind of retaliation could they take they have not already tried? Take out their capabilities and they are no longer a threat.
“ What kind of retaliation could they take”
Drop the bombs between the minarets, down the casbah way…..
Time to wipe out the iatollas!! sp?

One concern is Iran shutting down the Straights of Hormuz and oil supply. If this occurred big spike in prices. The missile battery systems along the coastline might not be as easy to hunt and destroy if they are not turned on.
