I won’t often offer advice to Obama.
However this one seems to warrant a simple response:
Obama should publicly, respond to the threat, with a simple declaration that any attack on an America carrier, will result in the complete destruction of an Iranian city.
Glass.
Say so publicly, so when it happens, there’s not sudden horror worldwide.
Just a simple “we warned you not to do that, and we said exactly what would happen if you did”. There will still be wailing and complaining, but the world will know and understand.
No more groveling Obama.
Glass.

Of course, a real US President would not issue such a threat, but simply sent in another carrier, and if Iran made good on its threat, take out Tehran and their nuke capabilities without warning ...
as much glass as possible.
I disagree. If they fire on us, declare war and destroy their military, then their infrastructure. Then who cares what they say and do.
