Iran lacks the ability to project for a shooting war with America.

the best they can do is to increase their current terrorist efforts.

loss of all their ports should bring them to the real bargaining table

A simple blocking of their ports will do. No need to shoot.

But, I'd bet they could muck up the Straits of Hormuz. I wouldn't want to be stuck on a US ship there if hostilities broke out. Somebody (Russia, CHina) might sell them a lot of advanced anti-ship missiles.

...AND the loss of their refining capability would be fun, also.
