Iran’s Missile Arsenal vs. America’s Armada: Deal or Strike — The Military Equation

As tensions around Iran intensify, the critical question is whether American military force can truly neutralize Tehran's missile capabilities. When Uncertainty Becomes a Weapon Today in Washington, Benjamin Netanyahu is attempting to pressure Donald Trump, promoting a tougher — and essentially military — version of resolving the Iranian problem: not limiting efforts to diplomacy surrounding a nuclear deal, but linking negotiations to ballistic missiles and preserving or even expanding the force option. We now find ourselves frozen in anticipation of where the pendulum will swing — toward a deal or toward a strike. Proceeding from the assumption that the conflict could still follow a military scenario, it becomes necessary to examine how realistic it is for the United States to "crush” Iran's missile potential and what consequences this might produce.
