Nothing about Russia in any of these scenarios. Or China. Or the NorKs. To discount any of them is foolish. Obama would be a complete moron to try to pull this off after diminishing our military budgets.
Their assumption misses one ace in the hole. One EMP over somewhere south and east of Isfahan. I am sure most of our naval assets are in some fashion capable of withstanding or quickly recovering from a low to medium grade EMP but I can guarantee you the Iranian civilian assets will not be. Utter chaos would ensue in Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz and Meshad and it would soon be all over.
Little or no chance now, with Hussein siding with Iran and all the rest of his Moslem buddies.
Meanwhile, the future is looking rather bleak for Israel - which continues, as always, to be our only RELIABLE ally in the Middle East.
Or, at least, it WAS our ally - until Obama shafted the Israelis.
Science fiction. Obama would never authorize anything that would help Israel. Just the opposite.
IMHO the first warning would be the shift of our naval forces out of the Persian Gulf into less restricted waters.
No matter how good we think our anti-missile weapons systems are, no sane naval strategist would want important assets stationed in there.
This is madness. No US Prsident would do this.
The part that's missing is the untold asymmetrical warfare that would ensue on our own soil as a result of this.

Old school carpet bombing has worked out pretty well for us, and we have a lot of the good stuff we can drop on them. Think of it as a rodeo round-up, but with cowboys using bombers instead of horses. A few good bombing runs to scare the living sh!t out of them, and then some more to soften them up a bit. Add some Naval and Army ordinance, along with some Marines to plow the road, and it woud make for an interesting afternoon. Of course we have a spineless turd for a CIC, so all of this is just wishful thinking.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN . . .
See this thread:
The last image, way at the bottom, those look like MiG-21’s or something
IMHO: Israel will attack before election. Iran will not launch any missiles outside their country. Israel will use missiles, special forces, subs and ground troops only in Israel and near-by.
