Actually, this is a big problem.

Iran does not have ICBMs, but they do have missiles that can easily travel the 200 miles off territorial waters.

Multiple launches from nuclear tipped missiles from these vessels could destroy all major US cities with little more than a few minutes warning.

They should be promptly sunk before they can come within the range of their missiles. They would have to be sunk in international waters, and a war would ensue, but better to get it over with now, while we have an advantage.

First it was the CMC, now it very well could be the IMC.

Exactly. This is a viable and serious threat to our homeland! Not merely a political taunt. Unfortunately, we do not have a CiC who understands this.

Give warning. No compliance? Sink them all!

All major US cities are 200 miles off of the coast?

The rhetoric coming out of Tehran would certainly support us carrying out a preemptive strike against their ships.
