since you have brought up nuking people a few times, curious, if you know the reason why they want to attack Iran in the first place
I don't know of anyone who "WANTS" to attack Iran, it's just that you simply cannot have a nuclear-armed loose cannon like Iran running around posing a very real threat to the safety of the entire world. If the choice is between keeping the rest of the world and keeping Iran, I'll take the rest of the world any day. Somtimes you just gotta do what you gotta do!

Could a force attacking Iran experience losses? Sure but minimal losses as Iran has only about enough shit to throw one punch and remember, Iran will not initially be attacked from the sea but rather from the air. Its air force, already in shambles will be decimated, its navy, for the most part outdated and in poor repair will be consigned to the bottom of the Strait of Hormuz and if by that time the army has not deserted, it too will be flamed, carpet bombed, shelled, strafed and otherwise reduced to smoldering piles of carbon as the REAL action from the sea commences. Sea power might well participate in all stages of pulverizing Iranian armed forces but it will begin in the air.
