If Iran sinks a carrier then the us congress will declare an actual war and that will seal Irans fate. Also, seal the fate of hundreds of thousands of lives.

So US citizens like you actually expect other countries to accept being attacked by you without as little as defending themselves?

It appears to be the position of much of Europe's leaders too.

Still reading into my comment and intent. I simply posted as

1. an under-reported fact pertaining to matters of military strategy. 2. The lack of coverage in the US News Media

BTW, you're also presumptuous AND mistaken about my nationality. As if nationality is a indicator or in your case a guarantee of a person's ideology.

You are a us citizen and comment against the right of countries to defend themselves against the us. How come?

Anyone can do whatever they want. I’m just saying sinking a us carrier doesn’t stop the conflict and, instead, makes it 2 or 3 orders of magnitude worse.

According to the Times of Israel Khamenei has been killed. I think that already counts as actual war.

Reuters coverage for those interested:

"Khamenei's body has been found and he is confirmed dead, Israeli official says"

I'm not so sure.

I think Trump would taco.

A carrier is fair game, especially when you shoot first.

There wouldn't be a coalition with half of Europe. Because of bridges burned.

This seems to be a short range (290km) anti-ship cruise missile. Definitely not an unstoppable carrier killer

What could threaten US carries are China’s DF-21D/26D – anti-ship ballistic missiles with reported ranges of > 2000km – and Iran is not getting them
