Iran’s Sejjil IRBM missile, according to Wikipedia, has a speed of Mach 14. And a range of 2,500 kilometers (1,553.4 miles). The warhead ranges from 500 to 1,500 Kgs (1,102 to 3,307 pounds.)
Iran has developed unstoppable cruise missiles with a range of 800 miles.
Iran had been working on their own anti-missile system based on Russian licenses. They just shot down a Global Hawk drone spy plane which is an automated version of the U-2 spy plane which flies at very high altitudes. In the past Iran could not have shot it down. Now they can. This puts them in the big leagues. On 12-5-2011 Obama’s CIA made a gift of an RQ-170 drone to Iran which Chinese, Russian and Iranian scientists studied in depth. Today Iran has a fleet of drones capable of launching missiles at US ships and military bases from Diego Garcia to Bahrain, Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan. All US ships in port or in either the Persian Gulf or the Indian ocean would be sinking minutes after an attack on Iran. Iranian attacks on US bases with fuel air explosives would eliminate most personnel. Survivors would be captured by ground forces in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.
60% of American currency is overseas. Even if America responded with nuclear weapons, the people overseas holding dollars would dump them . They would be dumped as nobody wants to get paid in the money issued by the country that lost the last war. That would double prices thus cutting permanently in half the wages and pensions of most Americans. So if attacking Iran does not make much military sense, then why do it?
