iran is developing longer and longer range rockets. Even shorter ranged rockets placed on a ship off our coast would be sufficient. You can bet that when iran attacks Israel with nukes they will strike at the US at the same time, either with rockets from ships or suicide ships going off in our ports.

MAD is useless against fanatical zealots that don't care about dying. If iran is not stopped over the next few years there will be a nuclear strike on the US.
