In any war it's the side that can deal the most damage that "wins". If you seriously think Iran can deal more than a fraction of the damage that the US & co. can do then I'd say it is you who doesn't know what he's talking about.
right, so what defense, exactly, do they have against a missile that goes mach 2.9 designed specifically for the very anti-missile systems in place? Considering how well the Americans did with the scuds in the exact same area, i'd say the odds are good the iranians are going to blow up billions of dollars worth of equipment in a very short time frame, as well as shutting down one of the most vital economic links of the world.

if you do answer this question, please inform the US Navy.
