An Iranian spokesman from the foreign ministry has told the media that there will be an “all-out war” if the United States were to execute some type of kinetic attack. Iran fears that the US Air Force could command B-2 bombers in Diego Garcia to carry out a bombing run to help Israel. The Americans are also sending the USS Nimitz to the region, which would give a full complement of ground strike airplanes like the F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet to menace Iran.
