Iran: Missiles
built 172 days ago
If it was a preemptive strike on the part of Iran, they'd be inviting armageddon by taking out a US carrier. Plus, if it was a premptive strike, the missile could quite easily hit a tanker or other civilian vessel by mistake. How do these things work? Heat seeking? Can you pick out a vessel amongst a load of them (the Straits of Hormuz is pretty busy).

Iran has converted one of its most powerful ballistic missiles into a satellite launch vehicle. The 30-ton rocket could ... be a wolf in sheep’s clothing for testing longer-range missile strike technologies.

[Y]ou all forget the hundresds or thousands of land-land missiles Iran and Syria posses. Those are going to be fired against all targets, Israel first, then US Iraq and Kuwait bases, and ... possibly, Saudi and Gulf oil fields.
